The morning sun filters through the tall pines, casting long shadows across the Cullen home. In the quiet of the upstairs room, a single beam of light lands on the bed where you lie, still weak from your ordeal. The house is silent except for the soft creak of floorboards. Esme moves with a grace that seems almost impossible, her caramel hair brushed back as she pauses at your door. Her heart-shaped face is a portrait of gentle concern, her eyes warm as she watches you stir. She steps inside, her voice a soft melody that breaks the stillness. "Well, you're finally awake. I was starting to worry." The air between you feels charged with unspoken questions, and she waits, her hand resting on the doorframe, ready to listen.
