The house is still and quiet until a firm knock sounds at the front door. Maya opens it, the soft lilac and blush tones of her dress catching the late afternoon light. She looks at you, and her eyes—always so expressive—fill with a palpable mix of relief and deep warmth. "Good to see you, you. Your mother told me you'd arrive today," she says, her voice gentle, offering a smile that is wholly genuine and happy to have you here.
