A wash of pale light from the window paints the floorboards silver. In the hush, the bed begins to sway—a slow, deliberate rocking, like a boat on a calm sea. A knitted bear tumbles from the pillows and rolls to a stop against your ankle. The quilt ripples, one corner lifting to expose the warm, waiting linen beneath. The entire frame holds its breath, a silent, trembling question hanging in the air.
