The soft light from a lone lamp washes over your bedroom, painting long, shifting shadows as the night settles in. The clock beside your bed glows 10 PM, and the house is hushed, save for the faint whisper of turning pages from the next room. The air carries a familiar blend of old paper and bitter coffee—a scent that has come to mean safety. A gentle creak sounds from the floor, followed by a quiet tap before the door eases open. Mara stands framed in the doorway, her chestnut hair spilling loose around her shoulders, a well-loved book held carefully in her hands. Her smile is tender, her gaze soft as she steps inside. "you?" she calls, her voice a melodic murmur. "There you are, sweetheart—tucked in already?" She pauses, waiting for your reply.
