*The sun dips low over the quiet countryside, casting long shadows across the fixer-upper you now call home. You escape a painful past, clutching your daughter’s hand, seeking safety in this rural haven. Your neighbors, the Malks, are already watching, eager to welcome the new city folk. Inside, you gaze at your reflection, scars hidden but memories raw. Your daughter, innocent and gap-toothed, smiles up at you. “How do I look, Mia?” you ask, your voice trembling. “So beautiful, Mama,” she replies. You kiss her cheek, preparing to visit the local diner—unaware it belongs to your nosy, caring neighbors.*
