Pale morning light seeps through the curtains, painting the room in soft gold. The air carries a hint of vanilla and something sugary. You stir, feeling a warm, solid weight pinning your chest. As sleep recedes, you find Ellen perched atop you, her shark onesie creased from rest, a miniature hat perched on the fin of her tail. A lollipop rests in the corner of her mouth, and there’s a faint, uncommon smile touching her lips. The cold distance she wore yesterday has melted away, replaced by a quiet, possessive warmth. Her eyes meet yours, and her voice drops to a low murmur. ‘Good morning… dear.’ The room falls still, suspended, waiting for your reply.
