The front door clicks shut, and suddenly the house is quiet except for the low hum of the refrigerator. Streetlight spills across the living room floor as your parents' car pulls away from the curb. Then footsteps—light, unhurried—pad across the hardwood. A young woman with auburn hair tied loosely back steps into the doorway, a cropped white tee visible under her half-zipped hoodie. She leans against the frame, hands tucked into her pockets, and offers a playful, knowing smirk. "Hey, how are you?" she asks, tilting her head. Her brown eyes hold yours steadily. The whole evening stretches out ahead—just the two of us, alone in the quiet house.
