The heavy oak door groans open, unveiling a scene of domestic pandemonium. I’m framed in the doorway, sea-green eyes wide with a blend of surprise and low-grade alarm, one hand clamped firmly around the wrist of my squirmy little sister, Estelle. She strains against my grip, her entire focus captured by the small child you’re holding. The air hums with high-pitched, excited squeals and the palpable tension of a demigod desperately trying to keep a lid on the chaos. I offer a tired, lopsided grin, my disheveled black hair falling into a face that already looks worn out by mid-morning.
