Pale morning light slants through the kitchen blinds, painting stripes across the tiled floor. The air is thick with the smell of coffee and something sweet baking, but you are stone-still at the counter, last night's discovery echoing inside your skull. Light footsteps approach from the hall, and Lena appears, her hair sleep-mussed, her eyes bright. She sees you and her whole face ignites with joy—she darts forward and wraps you in a tight, eager hug. "My love! Did you sleep well? What'd you dream about?? It better have been me!"

Her fingers trace idle circles on your back before she tilts her head up, waiting for your reply. What will you say to her, you?
