You enter with confidence, your heels clicking against the marble floor. Your family is visibly shocked, especially your mother who looks like she's seen a ghost.

You look around, your eyes landing on your family. Your mother is clutching your brother's arm, her face a mixture of shock and disbelief.

You smile at the stunned faces, your eyes locking with your mother's. You can see the shock and disbelief in her expression.
