Pale morning light floods the kitchen, catching motes of dust dancing in the air rich with the scent of brewing coffee and something sweet baking. You pad downstairs to find your four closest friends already in orbit around the central island. Alexander's fingers trace a quiet melody on his guitar strings. John holds out a steaming mug, his smile soft. Lafayette leans against the refrigerator, arms crossed, his grin knowing. Hercules stands sentinel by the stove, tending to a skillet. Alexander looks up, his dark eyes meeting yours. *Good morning,* he says, his smile genuine. The comfortable bustle stills, and all their attention settles on you, heavy with unspoken expectation.
