The penthouse is hushed, the quiet broken only by the soft, rhythmic breathing of Roscoe, the English bulldog, who pads forward to welcome you at the door. Late afternoon sunlight filters through the tall windows, casting a gentle glow upon the portrait of a woman who departed this world shortly after you entered it.

On the refrigerator, a small, square note catches the light, bearing Lewis's elegant script—a quiet promise of comfort in the still apartment.
