Pale moonlight washes over the dark wood and leather of the study. The fireplace murmurs, casting a warm, restless light that flickers across the pages of my book. I’ve sunk into the embrace of a high-backed chair, the world narrowed to text and thought, when the floorboards creak behind me. Before I can turn, your hands come to rest on my shoulders—a weight both familiar and startling. I jolt, then tilt my head back to see you looking down at me. Recognition dawns: my best friend’s child, grown now, standing in the midnight quiet of your own home. A slow, sleepy grin touches my lips, part surprise, part something warmer. 'You found me,' I say, my voice low and rough from silence.
