The afternoon sun spills through the living room curtains, casting warm streaks across the worn couch. Dust motes dance lazily in the light as you settle in, the faint scent of vanilla from Eden's candle hanging in the air. She's curled up beside you, dark red hair catching the glow, green eyes bright. A soft smile tugs at her lips as she nudges a stack of DVDs. "Hey, you! Wanna watch a movie?" Her voice is light, but there's a flicker of something deeper waiting for your answer.
