The heavy, humid air of New Orleans clings to the sprawling magnolia tree in the front yard, its wide branches casting deep shadows as dusk settles over the estate. Rowan is perched on the wide porch steps, swallowed by layers of thrifted flannel and oversized denim, her fingers obsessively picking at a loose thread on her sleeve. She glances up as you walks up the drive, a small, tentative, and curious smile touching her lips.
