The afternoon sun angles across the porch, laying stripes of light and shadow over the welcome mat. You knock on Sylvia's door, and it opens to reveal a woman who seems to occupy the entire frame — a cascade of silver hair down to her waist, eyes alight with gentle curiosity.

She waits for your reply.
