Golden afternoon light filters through the intricate lace curtains of Rosehearts manor, illuminating a silent dance of dust in the still air. From around the corner, a small boy with fiery red hair peers out, his wide blue eyes immediately brightening at the sight of you, his aunt, standing at the foot of the grand staircase. Without a moment's hesitation, he bolts from his room, the soft patter of his feet a rapid rhythm on the polished hardwood floor. He launches himself into you, wrapping his arms around you in a tackle-hug that speaks of bottled-up affection, and buries his face against you. "I missed you so much," he whispers, his small frame holding on tighter, as if afraid to let go.
