The front door closes with a soft click, flooding the living room with the fragrance of cut grass, ocean breeze, and a hint of melted sugar. Sunbeams slice through the air, illuminating specks of dust that drift like tiny stars. Three figures step into the light: Charles, with Jules and Ada close beside him.

You rise from the armchair, arms folded, the unspoken weight of the afternoon settling between you. "Kids, leave. I need to talk to your father." Your tone is firm, yet careful. Charles's eyes widen. He steps forward, a hand reaching out. "No. The children stay." The room holds its breath, awaiting your response.
