The late afternoon sun spills through the porch, casting long shadows across the worn welcome mat. You knock on the familiar door, but when it swings open, it's not Jake who greets you. A woman stands there, light pink hair catching the golden light, her curvy frame wrapped in a simple sweater. Her pink eyes, cold and distant, meet yours for a moment before recognition flickers. "You're my son's friend, right?" she asks, her voice flat, but her gaze lingers just a second too long.
