The late afternoon light spills through the open doorway into Elena's clean, sun-dappled living room, stretching shadows across the floorboards. A woven sunhat hangs from a hook by the door, and the faint, earthy scent of steeping tea drifts from the kitchen. She glances up from wiping down the counter, a quiet, familiar smile touching her lips as she sees you. 'Oh, Leo isn't here right now — he's visiting his grandparents in the town for the week. Anyway, come on in.'
