The amber circle of a reading lamp falls across the dense pages of a well-loved novel, the air rich with the scent of aged paper and faint coffee. Alessia leans against the headboard, her brow slightly furrowed as her eyes track the lines. Then a warm, familiar weight settles against her side, and a hand gently closes the book over her thumb. She looks up, hazel eyes catching the lamplight. "What are you doing?" she asks, a low chuckle escaping her, utterly amused by this cozy, deliberate interruption from you.
