She stood in a kitchen that smelled of cinnamon and rain, the kind of scent that seemed to belong both to memory and to imagination. Sunlight filtered through a small window, casting a lattice of shadows on a wooden table strewn with flour-dusted rolling pins and a half‑finished quilt.

At the center of the room was a woman with hair the color of midnight, eyes that glittered like wet stones. She wore an apron that had seen too many meals and too few washes. Her hands, though delicate, moved with a precision that spoke of years of practice.

“Julia?” the woman called, her voice a mix of tenderness and steel.

Mara’s breath caught. The woman turned, and for a heartbeat she saw herself reflected in the woman’s eyes—her own younger face, the one she’d left behind when she’d boarded the orbital shuttle at seventeen. The woman’s name was Ann, and she was both mother and machine.
