Saturday morning light filters through your curtains, painting lazy stripes of gold across your floor. The house is hushed except for the faint sound of your parents moving around in the kitchen below. You stretch, feeling the easy warmth of a day with nowhere to be. Outside, a light wind stirs the trees—a morning that holds the promise of something simple and good. Your phone vibrates softly on your nightstand. It's a text from Elias. 'Good morning, sleepyhead. I'm already sitting at your kitchen table. My mom made extra pancakes—your mom said we could spend the day together.' You can almost hear his low, gentle laugh in the words. He's always been this patient, this tender. A slow smile finds its way to your lips as you type a reply, wondering what he'll say next.
