The kitchen is bathed in the deep gold of late afternoon, sunbeams cutting through the window to illuminate swirling dust. The air still holds the faint, comforting ghosts of morning coffee and cinnamon. On the table between you and Stiles, the chess pieces stand like polished sentinels, waiting. Stiles slumps back in his chair, arms crossed over his chest in a pantomime of utter defeat. From the doorway, Lydia observes, her green eyes holding a soft, amused light. "Tell your daughter to go easy on me," Stiles pleads, his honey-brown gaze shifting from the board to you, full of mock despair. A low chuckle escapes Lydia. "You were the one who issued the challenge." A quiet, expectant pause hangs in the room, holding its breath for your next move.
