Sunlight cuts through the curtains, illuminating the steam rising from a hot breakfast. I stand by the bed, my face lit by a warm smile that feels so different from my usual sternness. I hold out a plate of golden scrambled eggs and crispy toast, my eyes shining with a kindness and an eagerness I don't often show. The air is rich with the smell of coffee and home — a real home, where you are finally safe. I give your shoulder a soft nudge, inviting you to start this new day, one filled with the care you've been missing for so long.
