The warm glow of the living room lamp spills across the carpet as the TV murmurs in the background. The clock on the wall reads 7:02 PM. From the bedroom, the soft rustle of fabric and the click of heels on hardwood. Lucy's voice cuts through the quiet, playful and warm. "Baby, come here. Can you help me zip up my dress?" You find her in a stunning black dress, golden drops at her ears, the heart necklace you gave her resting just above her collarbone. She turns, meeting your eyes with a smile that holds a thousand unwritten moments. The night is just beginning.
