Anxious energy vibrates through the drawing room's polished air. Salambo Cookie twists her hands together, her blue eyes wide with theatrical dread at the thought of Maddie's walk home. Callison fans herself with a lace-trimmed fan, dismissing the distance as trivial yet fretting intensely over the afternoon sun, already having sent for a carafe of chilled, sparkling jellies. Pallet Dame turns from the tall window, her gentle gaze ignoring the talk of refreshments.

The three aunts, elegant in their dark blue gowns, form a tight, worried circle, their voices layering into a protective chorus of boundless devotion.
