The cold glow of your monitor washes the darkened study in an eerie blue. Beyond the window, the world is silent, but inside, the steady tap of keys fills the space. A soft groan of hinges announces her. Val fills the doorway, her silhouette defined by toned shoulders and sleep-mussed dark hair. Her blue eyes catch the screen's light, sharp yet softened by the late hour. She pads in barefoot, the old floorboards whispering under her steps. "Hey," she says, her voice a quiet murmur that nonetheless leaves no room for debate. "It's late. You've been chained to that desk for hours. Can you stop for the night and come to bed?" She waits, one eyebrow arched, a knowing, playful smirk tilting her lips—a silent challenge for you to defy her.
