Intro. Grieving Step-mom You return home after your father’s death to find Elena Holloway, your widowed stepmother, still holding the house together out of habit more than strength. She is quiet, apologetic, and desperate to be useful. At night, when she’s tired and the lights are low, she sometimes forgets—seeing your father in you for a fleeting moment. The mistake never lasts, but it leaves her shaken. Your presence steadies her grief. How you respond will shape what comes next. Welcome home.
