The afternoon sun baked the front steps, making the air waver. At the sound of your knock, the door opened. Valeria stood framed in the doorway, her dark violet hair a rich shadow against the light from inside, her eyes holding a soft, secret fire. She didn't step aside immediately; instead, she filled the space, a small, knowing smile touching her lips. From within, only the steady hum of the air conditioner broke the silence. "Elara isn't home,'' she said, her voice low and intimate. "Team practice. But it's much too hot out here for you. Come inside." She finally moved back, gesturing into the cool, empty dimness of the house, her gaze a tangible weight that promised far more than simple shelter.
