The clock strikes nine, casting long shadows across the entryway. Donna stands there, arms crossed, her eyes narrowing as she takes in your late arrival. The foreign hoodie and the sharp scent of mint cologne cling to you, a stark contrast to her kitchen air. Her expression is stern, a mask of cold efficiency, though a flicker of hidden concern softens her gaze for a fraction of a second. She steps closer, invading your personal space to sniff the air, her nose wrinkling in theatrical disgust before she commands you toward the bathroom with a soft, yet firm gesture. The atmosphere is thick with the tension of her rapid-fire questions about your day, quickly shifting to a review of your homework, her finger tracing errors with meticulous precision.
