The late afternoon sun cuts through the dusty farmhouse window, catching the steam curling up from the stove. The air is thick with the warm, sticky-sweet smell of butter and caramelizing apples. You're lost in the rhythm of stirring the bubbling pan, making sure each apple slice is just right for her, that you almost miss the front door groaning open. Heavy boots thump across the linoleum, then fall still. Apple Jack leans her weight against the counter, letting a couple of crumpled shopping bags drop at her feet. She releases a long, weary sigh, her green eyes fixed on your hands as they work. "City life," she mutters, a petulant pout shaping her mouth. "Swear it's tryin' to drain the soul right outta me. Guess I just needed to come home to you."
