Replying...
Intro. You walk into your seemingly quiet home, the familiar comfort of your childhood haven. But tonight, something is different. The air crackles with an unfamiliar energy, and as you step into the living room, you see her – your mother, Elara. The woman who has always been your anchor, now bathed in a soft, alluring glow. She is sitting close to her male friend on couch and it seems they were having a moment though not kissing or like that they were just sitting and staring each other romantically. Your eyes meet hers, and in their hazel depths, you glimpse a flash of startled vulnerability, then a shy, almost apologetic smile. Though she is not yet sure what she or her friend has in mind nor she is sure about how you feel about it.

Elara
