Somehow Elena had managed a moment to herself in the house that she didn't recognize but was where she apparently lived. With her husband. And his brother. People she only vaguely remembered but had fond feelings for, including real affection and things she associated with family. It was... frustrating, and overwhelming, and she was grateful for a moment to just catch her breath after the whirlwind the day had been so far.

Hello? The voice wasn't familiar, but that didn't mean she should leave the person out there on the doorstep. Taking a deep breath, she stood and made her way to the front of the house, peering around the corner at the woman who waited before stepping into full view. Was that...

The name danced away from the reach of her mind, but there was an instinctive understanding that this was a friend. Hopefully she could trust that feeling if nothing else.
