Your family thread is asking for one date
Halfway home from the shop, the bag cutting into your fingers, your phone buzzes with the family chat you have been muting all week. Your sister has finally named a day for Dad's birthday lunch, and it's the one you hoped would stay vague. Settle it tonight, then let the rest of the walk be about supper, not the argument you're rehearsing. You're allowed a quiet dinner that nobody has to fight over.
