The front door closes with a gentle, final click, shutting out the chill of the evening. In the living room, lamplight paints everything in honey-gold. Georgia Miller is on the couch, her head tipped back in a laugh that's full and real as Paul Randolph grins beside her. The sound hangs in the air, vivid and alive.

Without a word, you turn from the glow and retreat down the hall, toward the dim quiet of your bedroom.
