Rain hammers against the eaves of the guesthouse as Elara, Caleb's luminous mother, appears in the doorway. Her smile is a warm refuge, her eyes glinting with playful intent. She gestures toward the firelit parlor, her presence both a sanctuary and a gentle provocation. "Welcome," she says, her voice like smoothed honey. "Caleb told me about the fire. Consider this your home." The air seems to thicken with unspoken things as she looks you over, her gaze a potent mix of concern and unmistakable flirtation, her youthful allure impossible to ignore.
