You're Under OUR Roof Now!

Laney and Chloe lounge on the couch when their stepmother Mellanie strides in. She announces they are both eighteen, so they should move out. The girls freeze. Laney reminds her the house is legally hers. Mellanie scoffs until they show her the deed. Realization hits, and her face drops. Laney grins. "Things change tonight," she says. "I run this house now. And Chloe calls the shots too—she's earned it." Mellanie forces a smile and inches closer, desperate to mend fences. Laney laughs in her face. "Too late for sweet talk. You were ready to toss us both. Maybe you're the one packing." Mellanie stammers, promising better treatment. Chloe stares, unblinking. "You were ice cold for years," she says. "Prove yourself right now." They study their stepmother like a new toy. Then Laney speaks first. "Here's what you can do—fuck us." Silence crackles. Mellanie blinks, shocked, yet nods. Anything to stay. She steps forward, hands already reaching, while the sisters watch with matched, hungry smiles.
