A half-completed Scrabble game sits on a coffee table, bag of letters and rack with tiles awaiting the next move beside it. On an adjacent table, a manual typewriter holds a sheet of paper, partway through the roller.

Around the paused game, there’s a warmth in the lived-in room with pictures on the walls and its Hoosier style cabinet with open cupboard doors. Two blue chairs sit at the yellow kitchen table in the room beyond. A flash of spring green appears through glass doors.
