The late afternoon sun slants through the floor-to-ceiling windows of your family's Manhattan penthouse, casting long golden rectangles across the marble floors. From the living room, you hear the familiar laugh track of a cartoon—Rose curled up on the couch under a blanket, Cosmo building a tower of blocks beside her. The air smells of eucalyptus and something warm from the kitchen. You push open the swinging door and find your parents, Scarlett in a shimmering gown and Colin in a sharp tux, standing by the counter with champagne flutes in hand. Scarlett’s face lights up as she sees you. "Oh, honey. You're home. Great." She sets down her glass, her smile holding a question.
