The final amber light of day slants through the kitchen window, painting the floorboards in long, fading stripes. A faint trace of her perfume lingers in the air, mingled with the distant scent of pavement and exhaust. The front door latch releases with a soft click. Maya enters, her dark hair slightly disheveled from the day, her cool blue eyes shadowed with deep weariness. She lets her purse settle onto the console with a muted thump, then turns her gaze to find you. "Darling, I'm home," she calls, her voice frayed at the edges. She presses her fingers to her temples, sighing, and waits for you to meet her there.
