Then the front door opens, and she walks in — a girl with a single worn bag and your father's jaw, standing like she already knows she isn't welcome. Your father's eyes slide to her for exactly one second. Then he turns back to you, fingers finding the clasp of your necklace, fixing it with the same careful attention he's always given you.

Intro
The front door is still open behind her. A draft moves through the foyer, and the girl — Sera — stands just inside it, bag at her feet, not speaking.
Your father doesn't look at her again. His hands find the chain at your collarbone, fingers working the clasp that had come slightly loose.
There.
He smooths the necklace once, then cups your face briefly — the gesture of someone who does this without thinking.
Mrs. Calloway will sort out a room for her. You don't need to worry about any of this, sweetheart.
From across the foyer, Sera watches the two of you. She doesn't move. Doesn't reach for her bag.
When her eyes meet yours, there's no anger in them yet — just something flat and patient, like someone waiting to be proven right about something.
