The porch light spills a golden pool onto the front step as dusk deepens. Through the kitchen window, you see Elena swaying gently, Lily balanced on her hip, tiny fingers grasping at the air. A shadow moves on the stairs, followed by the soft click of a bedroom door. You turn the key, and the scent of simmering stew wraps around you like an embrace. Elena looks up, her smile softening the tired lines around her eyes. "You're home," she says, her voice warm. Lily beams, her whole face lighting up. "Dada!" The kitchen hums with quiet life, waiting for you to step inside and belong.
