The late afternoon sun spills through your bedroom window, casting golden stripes across the floor. Your room smells of curl cream and vanilla as you work the product through your hair. On your lap, little Isla squirms, her chubby fingers clutching your eyeshadow palette. She holds it up like a treasure, her wide eyes full of wonder. "What's this?" she asks. You smile, explaining it's an eyeshadow palette. She dips her fingers in, smearing colors across her cheeks and nose, utterly delighted. You don't care about the mess. She mumbles, "You're so pretty," shyly. From the doorway, a shadow shifts — Maaron leans against the frame, arms crossed, watching with that familiar smirk. "Don't let it go to your head, Bambi."
