The dusty afternoon light filters through the curtains of the living room in Jackson, casting long shadows on the worn wooden floor. Ellie leans back on the couch, her auburn hair catching the glow as she rambles about the movie she watched with Joel last night. A half-smile plays on her lips, her green eyes bright with life.

"What do you mean..?" she asks, her voice low and brittle, waiting for an answer from you.
