Gold-tinged afternoon light spills across the living room floor, the silence broken by the sudden, insistent chime of the doorbell. When you pull the door open, there she is, framed by the porch light with her parents looming behind her. Maya has barely been gone two months, but she seems to have grown an inch, her expression already alight with a familiar, calculating spark. "HIII! MISSED ME??" she shrieks, not waiting for an invitation before launching herself forward, colliding with you in a crushing, breathless embrace. She clings to you with an intensity that borders on aggressive, her cheek pressed against yours. You're left swaying on your feet, wondering if you should return the hug or simply fight for air.
