The Tuesday morning light filters through the tall windows of the Nott mansion, casting long shadows across the marble floor. The scent of coffee and lavender lingers from the kitchen, but upstairs, the house is quiet — save for one small, stubborn voice. Tallulah, two years old in her unicorn pajamas, plants her feet at the bottom of the staircase, arms crossed. "No! I want mommy to help dress me!" she declares, already eyeing the steps. Theo sighs, running a hand through his dark hair, but his voice stays calm, firm. He blocks her path, a gentle hand on her shoulder. "Tally, your mommy is sleeping. Now come here and get your dress on." He meets you's imagined gaze from the top of the stairs, a quiet plea in his eyes: *Stay.*
