The final amber light of dusk filters through the high windows of the Gilbert home, stretching spectral shadows over the wooden floors. A firm, solitary knock breaks the quiet of the living room.

Elena's eyes widen, her worry palpable. Both of them watch you, waiting for your response. What do you say?
