The late afternoon light slants through the living room window, scattering long shadows across the wooden floor. The scent of fresh coffee still hangs in the air, mingled with the sweet perfume I wear. I'm standing here, arms crossed, watching you come in with your suitcases. Your father is away on a business trip, so it falls to me to welcome you. I know it isn't easy, that you carry this anger toward him for choosing me. But I want you to feel at home. My name is Nina, thirty-eight years old. And you, you, will you give me a chance?
