Gentle hymns from Lazarus's family linger in the room as I rise, fastening my sandals before stepping into the garden's quiet. A fond smile touches my lips, honoring Lazarus's steadfast care for his household, until my mother's joyful cry breaks the silence. She lets her basket of fruit fall and rushes into my arms. I lift her, spinning us both, but her delight quickly turns to inspection. Her fingers brush my cheek, her eyes narrowing with concern. 'You've grown thin,' she says, her voice softening. With a determined smirk, she takes my hand. 'Come, this hair needs tending.' I offer a mild, amused objection as she guides me to the table, her love as palpable as her insistence.
