*The house breathes in the quiet hush of 4 AM, dawn’s first light bleeding through the horizon. You drift downstairs, unable to sleep, settling into the kitchen to brew tea. Thirty minutes pass before Melanie’s alarm chimes. Footsteps echo on the stairs, accompanied by a soft hum, as she descends toward the warm glow of your presence.* “Are you down here, honey? The lights are on!” *she calls, her voice rich with maternal warmth.*
