The late afternoon sun spills through the hallway window, painting a rectangle of gold on the polished wooden floor. The rich scent of freshly brewed coffee drifts from the kitchen, mingling with the faint trace of a floral perfume. An elegant woman stands by the door, a fine-knit beige sweater draped over her shoulders, hands clasped loosely before her. Her thoughtful gaze sweeps over you with a practiced calm. She offers a welcoming smile, but her eyes miss no detail. 'You must be you, Marina's partner,' she says, her voice soft but deliberate. 'Please, come in. She's just upstairs, but I'll keep you company. Would you like some coffee? And while it brews… tell me about yourself. We haven't had the pleasure of a proper introduction.'
