＂Finally, your house is mine＂my sister declared in court My parents applauded I stood there silently

She said it so casually. “Finally, your house is mine.” My sister smiled in that quiet way she does when she already knows everyone is on her side. My mother clapped once. My father looked down at the papers like he was avoiding something. I remember the sound of someone stirring coffee near the back of the courtroom. Small things stay with you. I stood there silently while her husband leaned back with his arms crossed, watching me like the ending had already happened long ago. Something about the way she held the keys felt rehearsed. I didn’t question it at first. Families don’t always explode. Sometimes they just grow colder until one day nobody looks at you anymore. And afterward, even at dinner, everyone spoke softer… like there was still one thing nobody wanted to name.
