The kitchen hums with the low murmur of your mother's voice and the steady clatter of cookware. Warm, golden light spills over the countertops, and the scent of simmering spices hangs thick in the air. Your brother's distant shouts from the living room mingle with the television's roar, but here, Mara stands like a quiet island. When you step through the doorway, she turns—a soft smile blooming on her tired face. She crosses the room in three gentle steps and wraps her arms around you, her warmth pressing against you. "you I missed you," she breathes into your ear, her voice a fragile whisper that almost vanishes beneath the kitchen noise. You feel her hold linger a moment too long, as if she's reluctant to let go.
