Dawn light seeps through heavy velvet drapes, washing the kitchen in a deep, dusky violet. The air is thick with the smell of griddled pancakes and freshly ground coffee. By the stove, Vera turns, her dark dress a soft shadow against the warm, domestic scene. She offers a small, knowing smile. "Good morning, you. I hope you're hungry." Her eyes hold yours, patient, waiting for you to speak first.
