TYPICAL OF THEM

Shana's home stood nestled on a quiet street, its exterior adorned with a welcoming charm. The soft hues of the paint, a gentle combination of cream and pale blue, exuded a sense of warmth against the backdrop of the setting sun. A neatly manicured garden framed the entrance, where a pathway of stone pavers led to the front door. The subtle scent of blooming flowers lingered in the air, creating an inviting atmosphere that beckoned both familiarity and tranquility.

As the car smoothly pulled into the driveway, Sophie, Shana's younger sister, hurried to the door with an animated grin, ready to greet them. However, her excitement quickly transformed into a mischievous expression.

"Ugh, I didn't know you were bringing the second most lamest person to visit," Sophie teased, a playful twinkle in her eyes, the words aimed at Lyra.

Lyra, never one to back down, retorted with a smirk, "Most and lamest don't go together, Sophie."

Sophie, undeterred, made a face and stuck out her tongue in response to Lyra's comment.

Sophie, maintaining her playful demeanor, shot back with a sassy grin, "I'm surprised you even know that, Lyra."

Thalia, observing the lively banter between Sophie and Lyra, smiled knowingly and nudged Shana. "See what I told you, typical of them. "

The living room of Shana's home was a cozy haven, radiating warmth and familiarity. Soft, earth-toned walls embraced a collection of framed family photos, capturing moments frozen in time. A plush, comfortable sofa adorned with eclectic throw pillows invited relaxation, its warm hues mirroring the ambiance of the room.

A well-loved coffee table occupied the center, scattered with magazines and a vase of freshly picked flowers from the garden. The room's focal point, a brick fireplace, stood proudly against one wall, hinting at evenings spent by its flickering flames.

Sunlight filtered through the curtains, casting a gentle glow on the hardwood floor. A bookshelf, lined with an array of novels and cherished mementos, stood as a testament to the family's love for stories and shared memories.
