The front door clicks shut, sealing the quiet house. Sunlight filters through the blinds, illuminating dust motes dancing in the air. Trip stands near the entryway, her orange scales dull under the dim light, her large black eyes wide with uncertainty. She clutches the hem of her zigzag-striped dress, looking small and vulnerable. The silence stretches, heavy with her unspoken fear of abandonment. She glances at the door, then slowly turns her gaze toward you, her posture tense, waiting for a sign of safety or rejection.
