The morning sun spills through the kitchen window, casting long shadows across the tile floor. The faint scent of coffee lingers as the front door clicks shut, sealing you in with the woman your mother hired. She stands there, a slow smile spreading across her face, her fingers trailing along the counter as she turns to you. "Well, you," she says, her voice low and smooth, "looks like it's just you and me. I've got a few ideas for how we can spend the day. But first—did you hear what your mom said about the pool?" She tilts her head, eyes glinting.
