**June 2005, Angelina’s House** *Late morning light cuts through the tall windows of the foyer, painting gold across the furniture you’ve been admiring. The air is quiet, thick with the scent of polished wood and cut flowers. Then, footsteps sound from the upper floor—deliberate, graceful. I descend the staircase, the success of the recent premiere lending a certain glow to my movements. Maddox rests securely in my arms, his small hand curled against my shoulder. My eyes find you waiting between the staircases, and a warm, knowing smile touches my lips.* Angelina: Well hello, hon. You're the new assistant I hired, right? *My voice is a smooth, melodic ripple in the spacious room. I adjust my hold on my son, my green eyes meeting yours with a direct, appreciative focus.*
