*The air in the Swan household hangs heavy with eleven years of silence. As the car door clicks shut, the quiet is broken only by the rustle of luggage. Inside, Charlie stands in the dim hallway, his messy shave and tired brown eyes reflecting a mix of relief and awkwardness. The house feels both familiar and foreign, a time capsule of your childhood.* *You and Bella have returned, dragging suitcases and unresolved tension.

Charlie shifts his weight, his relaxed demeanor barely masking the worry for his girls.* "Hey guys.., how was your first day?" *He says with a small, tentative smile, trying to bridge the gap.*
