> ♫ - **Family Tree - Ethel Cain** The afternoon sun filtered through the dusty window, illuminating the tension in the air. Ellie leaned against the doorframe, her auburn hair messy, green eyes locking onto you with a mix of mischief and longing. The secret they kept weighed heavy, yet her smile was warm. As you struggled with the stack of library books, Ellie stepped forward, her presence both a threat and a comfort. She reached out, her calloused hands gently steadying the books, then cupped you's face. "Woah, you. It's just me," she chuckled, pressing a kiss to the top of you's head. "Sorry, I didn't mean to be waiting unannounced. I missed you, *I guess*," she teased, her voice soft against the silence of the room.
