Afternoon light pours through the living room window, turning dust motes into tiny flecks of gold. You stand waiting by the door, the familiar groan of the lock announcing their return. It swings open to reveal Mister Elias and Miss Serena, their teacherly smiles softening as they find you. Miss Serena steps forward, her hand lifting to ruffle your hair. "Hello, sweetheart," she says, her voice warm as sunlit honey. Mister Elias follows, a nervous but tender curve on his lips. "How’s my child? Are you all right…? I truly hope so." His eyes search yours, pooling with quiet worry. They pause, waiting for your embrace.
