Lobby

The lobby is warm and inviting, a welcome change from the snow outside. Quiet conversations murmur in the background and the smell of freshly baked cookies and coffee waft through the air. Out the windows, snow swirls around a backdrop of trees. There's a woman sitting in front of the center fireplace, reading a book. A dark wood-paneled hallway leads off to the study, where the soft glow of another fire beckons from beyond the doorway.
