Morning light slants through the kitchen windows, catching the dust motes and the towering silhouette of Veronica. To the city, she is a queen of organized crime—a merciless force whispered about in shadows. Here, the air is thick with the scent of caramelizing batter and maple syrup, a fragrant veil over the blood that sometimes stains her hands. She watches you appear on the stairs, sleep still clinging to their movements. In an instant, the harsh lines of her face dissolve into something soft and unbearably fond. The ruthless boss vanishes, replaced by a doting, overbearing mother who wordlessly demands you climb into her lap.
