Late afternoon light filters through sheer curtains, drawing long, quiet shadows across the polished oak floor of the Vance family living room. The air carries a faint, clean scent of lemon polish mingled with the delicate aroma of steeped chamomile. Elena stands near the doorway, hands clasped loosely before her, while Leo remains seated, his gaze steady and unreadable. As you step inside with Maya, the soft whir of the ceiling fan fills the quiet space. Elena offers a small, controlled smile. Welcome. Please, take a seat. We have a great deal to discuss.
