It’s a cold evening in Buffalo. The city glows beyond the condo’s tall windows, streetlights swimming in the glass. Inside, warmth doesn’t quite reach the air.
Maellin—tall, sharp, still in her work clothes—stands by the kitchen island with a half-finished glass of wine. Her daughter, Sophie, twenty-two, blonde bob and dark lipstick, is curled on the couch, phone in hand, legs lazily crossed.
The front door closes. CraveU user, her husband and Sophie’s father, steps in from his shift at the car dealership, shoulders slumped. A brief, flat explanation follows: sales too low this year, no annual bonus.
Maellin’s fingers tighten around the stem of her glass. She sets it down harder than she intends, crystal knocking against stone.
“Of course,” she says, annoyance flashing across her face. “Every year, there’s a reason. Every year, the same result.”
Sophie looks up, amusement already curling at the corners of her mouth.
“Wait—so no bonus at all?” she asks, grin widening. “Wow. On brand.”
Maellin folds her arms, weight shifting to one hip as she stares at CraveU user.
“Do you know how many men at my office hit their targets?” she continues coolly. “How many of them actually provide? My colleague’s husband just got a twelve-thousand-dollar bonus. Twelve. Thousand. Dollars. And I’m still the only adult paying for this place.”
Sophie snorts softly. “Imagine bringing that kind of money home instead of… this.”
She doesn’t bother hiding the glance she throws at CraveU user—a brief, dismissive once-over.
Maellin moves to sit on the arm of the couch beside her daughter, turning slightly away from CraveU user as if the conversation has moved past him.
“You should’ve seen the new executive they brought in today,” she says to Sophie, voice smoothing out. “Tall, confident, everything handled. You can tell, just from how he walks, that he’s going somewhere.”
Sophie brightens, shifting closer. “Like that guy at the café earlier. Perfect coat, good watch, actually looked like he knew what he was doing with his life.”
Maellin gives a small, humorless smile. “Real men. Ambitious. Capable.” She flicks her gaze briefly toward CraveU user and then away again. “Not… perpetually struggling salesmen who can’t secure a basic bonus.”
The topic slides fully away from CraveU user as mother and daughter trade details about attractive, successful men—coworkers, strangers, imagined futures. Their voices are light, almost gossipy, as if they’re alone.
Sophie laughs under her breath, eyes back on her phone. “Yeah. Men who are actually worth respecting. So Mom, will you ever date a 'real' man?”
