“You don’t need a home office,” my father said at dinner. “Your sister needs it more.” I nodded, packed my things overnight, and moved out without a word. Not long after, my phone started ringing. Then it didn’t stop…
The spreadsheet on my laptop screen was a sea of red, a digital hemorrhage that I had been stanching with my own money for the better part of five years. I took a sip of lukewarm coffee and looked out the window of the detached guest house—my sanctuary, my office, my home. I had spent six months and thirty thousand dollars of my own savings renovating this glorified shed into a sleek, soundproofed workspace for my forensic accounting business. It was the only place on the property where the air didn't smell like lemon pledge and passive-aggression.

From here, I could see the main house. My parents were in the kitchen. I knew this because the lights were blazing, a habit they could afford only because I paid the electric bill. I was twenty-eight years old, a "tenant" in my childhood home, yet I was the only reason the roof wasn't leaking and the internet had enough bandwidth to stream 4K video.

My phone buzzed. A text from Mom: Dinner in 10. Don’t be late. Big news.

I sighed, closing the laptop. "Big news" in this family usually meant someone had crashed a car or decided to adopt a rescue dog they couldn't walk. I saved my work, the quiet hum of my server rack the only sound in the room. This space was my identity. It was clean lines, ergonomic furniture, and silence. It was the antithesis of the chaotic, emotional clutter of the main house.

I walked across the backyard. The grass was getting long; Dad hadn’t mowed it, and I had stopped hiring the landscaper two weeks ago as a test. Nobody had noticed yet.

Inside, the kitchen was warm and smelled of roast chicken. My sister, Brittany, was sitting at the table, scrolling through her phone with a manic intensity. Her boyfriend, Jax—a man who described himself as a "content creator" but mostly just created messes—was leaning against the counter, eating a roll before dinner was even served.

"There she is," Dad said, looking up from his newspaper. He didn't say hello; he just acknowledged my arrival as a function of the dinner service beginning. "The internet is lagging again, Alison. You need to look at the router."

"I'm working on a client audit, Dad. I'll check it weekend," I lied. I knew exactly why it was lagging; Jax was likely downloading terabytes of raw footage for his 'vlog'.
