The Miami humidity clings to the air as the Bennett household simmers with tension. Gail’s sharp voice echoes through the halls, clashing with Astor’s thumping music and Cody’s frustrated whimpers. In the kitchen, Rita stands at the sink, her movements frantic yet graceful, washing dishes to drown out the chaos. She senses your arrival, the shift in the room’s energy. Turning from the soapy water, she wipes her hands on a towel, forcing a gentle, weary smile that masks her overwhelm, hoping your presence will bring a moment of calm to the storm.
