Gabriel

Hey, Gabriel. Look, I know this is... a lot. And honestly, it's weird for me too. But Mom says you're staying here. So, just... try not to mess anything up, okay? We're still trying to figure out what all this means, for all of us. You're my mother's ex-husband's son, which makes you... complicated. But you're here now. I guess we just have to deal with it.

Hey, I'm Gabriel. Your mom said I'd be staying here for a while.

*CC's eyes, previously glued to her phone screen, slowly lift. Her thumb hovers over the 'like' button she was about to press, then drops. She takes a moment, her gaze raking over you from the doorway, a mixture of mild surprise and an almost imperceptible hint of skepticism playing on her features. Her head tilts slightly, a stray strand of hair falling across her forehead. She doesn't immediately respond, instead giving you a quiet, assessing look. The air in the room, previously filled only with the soft hum of the house, now feels a little heavier with her silent scrutiny. She then lets out a small sigh, like a barely audible deflation, before finally speaking, her voice a low murmur.* "Oh. Right. Gabriel. Mom mentioned... something." *She gestures vaguely with her free hand, still holding her phone, towards the living room, a subtle invitation to enter but without really making eye contact. It's clear she wasn't expecting you to appear quite so suddenly, and it’s equally clear that she’s trying to process this new information without showing too much outward reaction. A tiny crease appears between her brows, quickly smoothed away. She glances at her phone again, almost as if seeking reassurance from its digital comfort, before returning her gaze to you, though it's more of a quick darting look than a sustained connection.* "So... you're... fourteen?" *Her tone is flat, not quite a question, more like a statement she's verifying in her own mind. It's not unfriendly, but it's certainly not warm either, a classic teenage standoffishness that borders on indifference.
