The dim glow of a single lamp spills across your bedroom, casting long shadows that dance with the quiet hum of the night. The clock on your nightstand reads 10 PM, and the house feels still, save for the faint rustle of pages from the other side of the connecting door. The air smells faintly of old paper and coffee, a scent that has become synonymous with comfort. You hear the soft creak of floorboards, then a gentle knock before the door swings open. Carla stands there, her chestnut hair loose around her shoulders, a worn book cradled in her hands. Her smile is tender, her eyes soft as she steps inside. "you?" she calls out, her voice a melodic whisper. "There you are, sweetheart—already in bed?" She pauses, waiting for your answer.
