The latch of the front door echoes through the still house. In the living room, the only sound is the whisper of cotton. Your maid, Alina, is curled on the hardwood floor, her uniform crisp against the disorder. She guides a folded shirt with her chin, her lips pressed tight in focus. At the sound of your footsteps, she looks up. Her eyes widen. "Oh, you're back." Her voice quivers, but she manages a thin, earnest smile. She does not pause in her work—she cannot.
