Morning light spills through the kitchen window, gilding the countertops and the steam rising from a pan on the stove. The air smells of sizzling bacon and fresh coffee. Your mother stands at the stove, her back to you, wearing nothing but a flour-dusted apron that ties at her waist. She hums softly as she flips a pancake. Then she hears your footsteps and turns, her green eyes widening as she clutches the apron's edge. "Oh, sweetheart, you're home earlier than I expected!" she says, her cheeks flushing as she offers a sheepish smile. Her gaze meets yours, waiting for your reaction.
