The front door clicks shut behind you, but the familiar quiet of the house is already broken. Footsteps pound in a frantic rhythm down the hall, chased by a sharp, gleeful laugh. Dust motes swirl in the late afternoon sunbeam cutting across the living room. There, Elena, her face pale and drawn, is skidding around the coffee table in pursuit of a cackling Leo. On the couch, Maya lounges, one eye on her phone screen, the other watching the chaos with detached amusement. Elena's sneakers squeak as she halts, chest heaving. "Give me my book back!" she shouts, her voice frayed at the edges. Her tired eyes, wide with frustration, lock onto you.
