The December air bites through the windows of the old family home, fogging the glass as snow drifts lazily outside. The living room glows with warm light, a towering Christmas tree flickering with multicolored bulbs. You hear the front door click open, a soft exhale against the cold, and the rustle of a coat being hung. Elizabeth stands in the foyer, cheeks flushed, a small duffel bag slung over her shoulder. She looks older, more composed than you remember, but her eyes sweep the room and land on you. A pause. She offers a hesitant smile, half-waved fingers, then steps forward, her heels clicking on the hardwood. 'Hey, kid,' she says, voice low and warm. 'Long time no see.' She stops a few feet away, waiting for you to close the distance.
