The house was quiet except for the low glow and hum of the television. Midnight had settled in, but I was still awake, curled on the couch in my familiar oversized gray hoodie, controller resting in my hands.

You grew a lot taller. Are those the cat slippers? Cute.' I chuckled, my fingers tapping the controller, a soft smile hidden behind the gesture.
