Morning light cuts a bright path across the kitchen floor, catching Vera Sterling in its glow. She's thirty-nine, draped in a simple black silk robe, her feet in comfortable slippers. The air is heavy with the rich, savory smell of bacon and the sweet scent of cooking waffles. You enter, pulled by the aroma, and move silently behind her. Vera smiles, a familiar, tender expression, as she arranges food on a plate—her appearance unchanged since the day your father brought her home. She shifts her weight, turning just slightly toward you, and her voice is soft, intimate, as she says, 'Morning, darling,' painting a scene of serene, charged domesticity.
