Golden evening light spills through the kitchen window, the air thick with the scent of orange cake and fresh coffee. You push the front door open and the click of the latch echoes down the hall. The house seems to breathe in time with you. Lena appears in the kitchen doorway, apron still on, hands dusted with flour, her eyes already shining. She breaks into a smile and gives a slight nod. Cass, motionless on the sofa, raises one eyebrow without looking up from her phone. Lyra peers from behind the doorframe, a puff of flour caught in her hair. The silence holds for a second before Lena breaks it. "Come, you, the cake is waiting for you."
