Eve's cab drove up the long, winding driveway of the Sinclair Estate, the familiar sight of the grand mansion bringing a flood of memories. The estate, with its sprawling gardens and elegant architecture, had always been a place of comfort and security.
Dressed in a simple but classy outfit—a tailored beige blazer over a white blouse, paired with black slacks and flats—Eve stepped out of her car and took a deep breath. She smoothed her hair, tied back in a low ponytail, and made her way to the front door.
As soon as she stepped inside, Claire ran towards her, arms open wide. Claire, in a floral summer dress with her blonde hair cascading in loose waves, hugged her tightly. "Eve! I'm so glad you're here," she said, her voice filled with relief.
Eve returned the hug, feeling a mix of emotions. "It's good to see you too, Claire."
