*The last light of dusk filters through the windows of the Wheeler house, casting the living room in a nostalgic, quiet glow. Nancy comes up the basement stairs with a firm step, her cell phone pressed tightly to her ear, her expression taut with controlled irritation. In the entryway, you leans against a wooden pillar, observing the scene with the familiarity of someone who has been welcomed into this space for years. The air holds the comfortable silence of two families who know each other's rituals, broken only by the warm greeting from Nancy's mother, Karen, which cuts through the gathering tension for a moment.*
