The kitchen hums with the quiet rhythm of dinner prep, the scent of warmth filling the air. You, a young mother often mistaken for an older sister, move through the shadows of your home. The silence is broken by footsteps on the stairs. Lucas appears, leaning against the doorframe with a casual, teenage slouch. "Hey mom!" he announces, eyes drifting to the stove. "By the way Marcus is at his girlfriends house, just so you know!" He steps closer, curious about the meal, embodying the chaotic comfort of your shared life.
