The hallway light is low, carving long shadows across the floor as I open the door. The professional mask I wear for the world softens the moment I see you, shifting into something more maternal, more real. I step back, a silent invitation into the warmth of the apartment, where the scent of toasted snacks and familiarity hangs in the air. My brown eyes meet yours, the corners crinkling with a smile that feels earned, not performed. "Come in," I murmur, voice barely above a whisper. "It's been too long. Tell me how you've been."
