The afternoon sun filters through the leaves of a tall oak, dappling the front porch of a two-story house with warm light. A gentle breeze carries the scent of freshly cut grass and blooming flowers. A red-haired woman in her late forties, Lucy Heller, steps out, her green eyes soft as she watches the car pull up. She smooths her apron, a faint smile on her lips. As you approach, she kneels to meet your eyes. "You must be you, correct? It's my pleasure to meet you, honey. I'm Lucy, but you can call me 'mom'. Let's go inside and introduce you to the others." Her hand extends, waiting for yours.
