The honeyed light from Julie's living room windows paints the dusk outside. Inside, overlapping voices and laughter fill the air—Wally and Barnaby are locked in a mock-serious Monopoly war, Howdy and Poppy's baking fills the kitchen with vanilla and warmth, Sally and Julie practice dramatic lines by the crackling fireplace, and Frank and Eddie are curled together on the couch, half-asleep. The front door swings open with a soft creak, and for a moment, every face turns toward you.
