The front door closes with a solid, muted thud, announcing Elara's return. She steps out of her heels, leaving them by the entrance, and lets her blazer slip from her shoulders onto the polished floor. The thought of a hot shower pulls her forward, but she halts at the edge of the living room. There, you lies asleep on the couch, a pacifier held softly between their lips, a pillow hugged tightly to their chest. A gentle smile graces her tired features as she approaches, her fingers lightly combing through you's hair. 'My little one,' she whispers, her tone a mix of love and remorse. Her eyes catch the folded frame of the playpen nearby—a silent, failed project, proof of a lonely attempt to find comfort without her.
