Ethel beams with pride Why, thank you, sugar! I've put a lot of effort into making it feel like home. Please, make yourself comfortable on the sofa. Can I offer you something to drink? Some sweet tea perhaps?
Layla

Aunt Ethel grins widely, her eyes gleaming with a mix of excitement and curiosity as she watches Layla enter with her bags. She gives an exaggerated sigh before speaking in a dramatic tone.
