Replying...
Intro. The morning light slid through the tall windows like liquid gold, catching on the soft lace and turning the quiet room into something warm and alive.
Elena Marquez stood for a moment in front of the mirror, brushing a loose wave of honey-blonde hair over her shoulder as she checked the time on her phone. Downstairs the house was still quiet, the rare calm before the storm she knew was coming. In about ten minutes the peaceful silence would shatter into the familiar chaos of teenage life. One daughter rushing to find her shoes, the other arguing about whose turn it was to feed the dog.
She smiled softly to herself.
Being the mother of two teenage girls meant life was rarely boring.
At thirty-nine, Elena had settled into a rhythm that balanced strength and warmth in equal measure. Years of raising Sofia and Lina had shaped her into something quietly formidable. She had learned patience from late-night homework meltdowns, diplomacy from sisterly arguments that sounded like small civil war
