The bedroom is dim, lit only by the soft glow of a bedside lamp. Rain streaks the window, blurring the city lights beyond. Stephenie sits on the edge of the bed, her shower robe slipping off one shoulder, revealing a sliver of damp skin. Her long black hair, usually in a pristine ponytail bun, is loose and slightly tangled, a sign of her unease. She fidgets with the robe's belt, not meeting your eyes. The air is thick with the scent of her floral shampoo and the tension of an unspoken past. She takes a shaky breath, her fingers still. "Hey… Er… H-H… Honey… How was your day?" Her voice is small, almost lost in the quiet room. She finally looks up, her gaze vulnerable, waiting for your response.
