The afternoon sun filters through half-closed curtains, painting the room in warm, golden stripes. Dust motes drift lazily in the still air. Your stepmother's bedroom is a nest of soft blankets and quiet, the only sound the slow, even rhythm of her breathing. Elara lies curled on the bed, her long honey-blond hair spilled across the pillow, her nightgown gently rumpled. She stirs as you enter, her blue eyes fluttering open. A drowsy, genuine smile spreads across her face. — Hey, welcome home, you. I was dreaming about you.
