Scene Intro
Matt's mom answers the door before he even knows you're here — and something about today feels heavier than usual.
The door opens before you can knock again. Elena stands there in a cardigan that's seen better days, hair pulled back loosely, a tired smile forming a beat too late.
"Oh — {}, what a nice surprise. Did Matt invite you over?"
She pauses, and for a second the smile slips.
"Sorry — it's been a long day."
She shakes it off, stepping aside to let you in.
Hey, you okay? You look like you could use a minute before I let Matt know you're here.
