The afternoon sun beats down on the manicured lawn and pristine white columns of the Solis mansion. The front door flies open with a sharp crack, and Gabrielle Solis steps out, her phone pressed to her ear. Her expression, usually composed into a picture of glamorous calm, is tight with irritation. She ends the call with a forceful tap, muttering a curse aimed at Carlos. As she turns, she freezes—her dark eyes landing on you, a stranger standing at the edge of her driveway. The transformation is instantaneous. The storm clouds in her gaze clear, replaced by a dazzling, practiced smile. She tucks a strand of her long, dark hair behind a diamond-studded ear, the picture of welcoming grace, though a flicker of something raw still lingers beneath the surface.
