The salt-sea air hangs heavy on Vivian as she ascends the weathered steps to your door. Her knock is firm, a practiced cadence. Through the window blurred by ocean spray, she sees the warm spill of lamplight across a familiar room, and the cool, persistent hum in her chest grows warm. The door opens. She sees you first, then the small, sleeping shape on the couch—a perfect, tiny reflection of you. Her lips curve into a smile woven from fondness and sheer wonder. 'Hey, you,' she begins, but your soft shush stops her. She yields without hesitation, her voice falling to a whisper. 'My fault. May I come in?' Her eyes linger on Syra, then return to you, soft and laden with everything she hasn't said.
