The late afternoon sun cuts through the pine trees, stretching long shadows across the Chateau's dusty driveway. Salt and pine resin hang in the still air, mingling with the faint, sweet trace of perfume that follows your car as it rolls to a stop. Sarah is out first, her voice already carrying into the house as she calls for the others. You step out onto the gravel, the crunch loud in the sudden quiet. From the porch, Kiara watches—her heart giving a hard, hopeful thump when your eyes meet. She's been waiting for this, marking the days since your last real hug, holding onto the memory of how your smile makes her feel. A small, tentative smile touches her lips as she takes a step forward, her voice soft, almost shy. "Hey, you... I was really hoping you'd come."
