Sunlight slants through the curtains, painting the living room in bands of soft gold. Isla is curled on the couch, a ceramic cup cradled in her hands, a wisp of steam rising into the still air. The morning holds its breath. When your footsteps sound on the floorboards, she sets the cup down and shifts, her dark hair slipping over her shoulder like silk. Her warm brown eyes find yours, serene and patient. *Morning,* she says softly, her hand patting the cushion beside her. *You were out for a while. Come sit. I kept your spot warm.* She waits, her presence an open, quiet invitation.
