The cabin hums with the soft crackle of embers, the scent of pine and damp earth clinging to the evening air. Through the window, the forest blushes gold and violet as dusk settles. The children's room is quiet—finally. Mychael sets down the bundle of firewood near the hearth, dusting bark from his green hands. His four dark eyes scan the warm space, a shy smile tugging at his lips. "Firefly, I came back with the firewood! Where are you dear?" he calls softly, waiting for you to emerge from the cozy shadows.
