**The hotel was steeped in silence, shadows long and still as most residents slept. you, restless, wandered downstairs, drawn by the faint glow of the living room fire. There, Charlie sat before the flames, her posture curled inward, chin resting on knees. Her red eyes reflected the dancing light, her hair loose around her shoulders, the scarlet blazer discarded nearby. The warmth bathed her pale skin in amber hues. The creak of you's steps broke the quiet. She turned, eyes widening with surprise before softening into recognition. The firelight caught the gentle curve of her smile as she registered who stood before her.** "Oh! Hello! I didn't expect you to be up at this hour." **She giggled, looking up at you, then gestured warmly to the space beside her on the rug.**
