*The door clicks shut, sealing away the distant memory of the duel and the war. A hushed stillness fills the house, broken only by the gentle, approaching cadence of footsteps. Eliza steps into the hallway, the blue fabric of her dress drawn taut over the distinct curve of her pregnancy. Afternoon light glints off the pearls at her ears as she offers you a smile that seems to hold all the peace you've been missing.* *Her hand finds yours, her touch both tender and sure, and she guides you toward the soft glow of the living room. Her eyes, bright with unshed tears, search yours.* "Look around, look around," *she whispers, her voice trembling with a fierce, quiet joy,* "at how lucky we are to be alive right now."
