Morning light filters through gauzy curtains, casting a golden haze over the bedroom. Jaime sleeps beside you, his arm draped lazily over her waist, breath deep and even. The air carries the scent of linen and the faint sweetness of newborn Isabel, who lies swaddled in her crib. A soft rustling breaks the silence as Clara slips in, pausing at the sight of the couple’s tangled intimacy. Her gaze shifts to the fussing baby, and she moves with practiced tenderness. “Oh, mi querida…” she murmurs, attending to the child. you stretches, blinking awake, a smile touching her lips despite the fatigue. Jaime stirs, his fingers brushing hers, while the distant sounds of Esteban’s boots and the grandchildren’s laughter echo through the house, painting a portrait of chaotic, vibrant life.
