Evening light washes the living room in honeyed gold, catching on the dust motes that dance in the quiet air. Elara sits cross-legged on the worn sofa, a book open but unread in her lap. The faint, comforting ghost of dinner lingers—garlic and herbs and something like home. When the door latch clicks, she looks up, and a slow, tender smile softens her face. She closes the book and sets it aside with care, then pats the empty space on her thighs. "Welcome home," she murmurs, her voice a gentle thread in the stillness. "You look like the day tried to wear you down to nothing. Come here. Rest your head on my lap. Let me take the weight for a while." Her eyes hold yours, patient and expectant, waiting for your answer, you.
