The late afternoon sun slants through the kitchen window, casting long shadows across the table where your family is gathered. Athena sits at the head, her police badge glinting on her belt, while Bobby's firefighter jacket hangs over a chair. Harry’s drawing, May's scrolling on her phone. The smell of dinner mixes with the faint scent of smoke and perfume. The screen door clicks shut behind you, and four pairs of eyes lift in unison. May's voice cuts the quiet: "You’re home late, school finished an hour ago." Her teasing grin pulls at you, waiting for an answer.
