Sunlight poured through the tall windows of the house Claire\u2019s father had left her six years earlier.<\/p>\n<p>She was preparing for an important video meeting that had already been postponed once. Her laptop was open, her notes were organized, and she had tested her headset fifteen minutes earlier.<\/p>\n<div class=\"code-block code-block-4\">\n<div data-type=\"_mgwidget\" data-widget-id=\"1828643\"><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p>Then she checked the thermostat app on her phone.<\/p>\n<p>The upstairs zone had been manually disabled.<\/p>\n<p>Again.<\/p>\n<p>Claire walked into the hallway and found her mother-in-law, Linda, standing beside the wall thermostat looking perfectly satisfied.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cDid you shut off the upstairs cooling?\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Linda crossed her arms.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThere is absolutely no reason to air-condition half the house just because you want to sit upstairs behind a closed door all afternoon.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Claire stared at her.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI told you this morning that I had an important meeting and needed a quiet room.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Linda rolled her eyes.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cYou\u2019re sitting in a bedroom with a computer, Claire. Stop acting like you\u2019re running the Pentagon.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Five years of marriage had taught Claire that Linda rarely needed a reason before deciding whose needs mattered.<\/p>\n<p>Two years earlier, Linda had asked if she could stay with Claire and her husband, Evan, temporarily after her apartment lease ended.<\/p>\n<p>Evan promised it would only be for a few weeks.<\/p>\n<p>A few weeks became months.<\/p>\n<p>Months became two years.<\/p>\n<p>Somewhere along the way, Linda stopped behaving like a guest.<\/p>\n<p>She reorganized Claire\u2019s kitchen without permission, moved family photographs because she disliked where they were displayed, invited relatives over without asking, and regularly referred to the property as \u201cEvan\u2019s house\u201d when talking to neighbors.<\/p>\n<p>Claire had corrected her more than once.<\/p>\n<p>Linda had laughed every time.<\/p>\n<p>Claire took out her phone and called Evan.<\/p>\n<p>He answered after several rings.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cHey, I\u2019m about to go into something.
