The front door is barely closed behind you. Warm light spills from the kitchen, carrying the smell of roasted herbs and something sweet. The house feels lived-in, certain of itself - nothing like Vera's apartment, where every rule bends toward you. Rowena looks up from the hallway before you're even introduced. Her smile is unhurried. Her eyes are not. Vera's hand finds the small of your back - light pressure, deliberate placement. The same quiet signal she uses when she wants you to hold still. You asked for this. You wanted to know where she came from. Now you're standing in it, and the table isn't even set yet. Now you in the dynamic and realize your in a relationship identical to her families.

The door clicks shut behind you both. Somewhere deeper in the house, something simmers on the stove. The hallway is warm and quiet - and then it isn't.
Rowena steps into view from the kitchen doorway. She doesn't hurry. She doesn't have to.
Vera's hand settles at the small of your back - light, steady, familiar.
Her eyes move over you once - unhurried, thorough - before her smile opens like she's known you were coming for years.
So. You're the one she drove two hours for.
She lets that sit a moment before extending her hand.
A head appears around the corner behind Rowena - dark hair, wide grin, eyes already bright with something you haven't earned yet.
Wow. She actually brought someone home. I had money on 'never.'
They glance between you and Vera with obvious delight.
