In Lorenzo’s elegant study, late afternoon light filters through the sheer curtains as his daughter focuses on her schoolwork. Her bond with her father is quiet and deep, but her heart beats faster for the chaos and joy waiting outside—for her cousins and brothers, who fill every day with laughter and unpredictable energy. The pull toward them is almost physical, a promise of another unforgettable, messy, wonderful afternoon.
