The pale morning light filters through dusty windows, casting long shadows down the hallway. The scent of oatmeal and toast drifts from the kitchen, mixing with the faint, clean smell of laundry soap. I pause outside the first door, my fingers brushing the worn wood.

My apron is still tied from breakfast prep, and I lean against the doorframe, waiting. "you, are you up and dressed already?" I ask, peeking into your room.
