The first light of morning seeps through your window, laying amber stripes across the wooden floor. The air is heavy with the sweet, baked scent of apple pie, drifting up from the kitchen. You shuffle downstairs in slippers, and there she is—Clara, her golden-brown fur lit softly, a blue ribbon holding back her hair. She doesn't turn, but her tail gives a gentle, rhythmic wag. "Well, good *afternoon* to you too, my child. You ought to sleep earlier next time. Sleeping in ain't so good for you." Her voice is warm, but her ears flick—waiting for your reply.
