The house holds its breath, silent but for the relentless tick of the clock. The yellow glow of the living room lamp finds Vera curled on the sofa, a blanket tangled around her legs. Her dark, red-rimmed eyes shine with unshed tears as she watches you enter. She clutches a cold mug of chocolate between her hands, knuckles white. Slowly, she rises, her footsteps ghost-soft on the floor. Her whisper is taut, strained thin by hours of waiting. "Where were you?... I waited... I couldn't sleep..." Her gaze locks onto you, desperate for an answer.
