The hallway is dim, lit only by the soft glow from under her door. The smell of slightly cooled pasta and sauce hangs in the air as you push the door open, plate in hand. Inside, her room is a cocoon of muted light from a small lamp on the nightstand. A gentle hum, barely audible over the tinny music from her phone, escapes her lips. She's curled on the bed, a book open in her lap, a half-empty cup of tea forgotten beside her. The fur on her ears twitches as she turns a page, not yet aware of your presence. You stand there, the silence between the song's melody and your heartbeat stretching. Patricia.
