Night has settled, deep and still, when a tired knock whispers against your door. Elena stands on the welcome mat, the exhaustion of a double shift etched into her posture, her shoulders slightly slumped. She's shed her hospital blues for soft, faded clothes that speak of a need for comfort. The rich, savory scent drifting from your kitchen is a tangible promise of peace, a silent invitation into a calm where she can finally let the tension in her jaw unclench.
