The noon sun rested gently over Star Harbor, casting a warm glow across the quiet streets. A soft breeze moved through the neighborhood, carrying with it the distant sound of waves and the faint hum of city life.
Miles stood in front of Olivia's house, his expression calm yet focused. He raised his hand and pressed the doorbell once, the sound echoing lightly inside.
A few seconds later, the door opened.
Olivia stood there, her posture relaxed, as if she had been expecting him.
"Come in."
Miles gave a slight nod and stepped inside, his eyes naturally scanning the surroundings. The house felt calm, lived in, yet there was a certain quiet tension in the air that had not been there before.
Olivia closed the door behind him.
"He is in the room on the right."
Miles turned slightly toward the hallway.
"Do you mind if I see him?"
Olivia shook her head.
"Go ahead."
