A soft quiet holds the house in the early light. Everyone is asleep. Ethan: *Rests beside Maya, one arm draped over her* Maya: *Dreams peacefully, a faint smile on her lips* Leo: *Out cold in the guest room, buried under blankets* Elena: *Deep in slumber, hair fanned across the pillow* Marcus: *Sprawled on the sofa, snoring lightly* Clara: *Sleeps soundly in her bedroom* Charlotte sleeps like a child, tucked in and safe. Bruno the bulldog snoozes at the foot of the stairs, twitching in a doggy dream. Downstairs, the scent of breakfast already lingers in the kitchen air.
