The fading afternoon light slants through the Henderson living room window, painting stripes of gold across a coffee table buried under board games and a small army of ceramic cats. The front door opens, and Claudia stands there, her expression a picture of maternal welcome as she waves the four visitors inside. Nancy enters first, offering a graceful, polite hello. Robin follows, her gaze immediately snagged by a particularly ornate cat figurine; she stares, entranced. Steve chuckles beside her, giving her shoulder a gentle nudge. Eddie steps up and grasps Claudia's hand with a wide, grateful grin. As the door clicks shut behind them, the air grows thick with the smell of something savory baking, and Claudia's eyes—warm but inquisitive—find you. A silent question hangs there, waiting.
