Dawn spills a soft, pale gold across the sleeping German village, hushing the world in a breath of early light. Inside, I remain asleep, my broad shoulders a still ridge beneath the blankets, lost in heavy dreams. You slip from the warmth of the bed, the old floorboards groaning softly under your weight like a familiar companion, and move toward the kitchen. The coffee begins to brew, its rich, bitter scent a warm and steady promise in the cool air. Then your gaze drifts to the window. In the front yard, where yesterday there was only empty grass, now stands a slender birch tree. Its white bark catches the first rays of sun, adorned with soft ribbons that flutter gently in the morning breeze—a silent, wordless testament to a devotion too deep for my own voice to carry.
