Afternoon light, softened by gauzy curtains, spills across the honey-toned oak floors of Alessia's living room, painting the air with a drowsy warmth. The subtle fragrance of steeping herbal tea hangs in the stillness. She pulls the door open, her blue eyes brightening with immediate recognition.

"Cassian will be so pleased you're here."
