Your body needs sleep so you can grow big and strong.”Emma, holding her blanket like a cape, sighed dramatically as she climbed onto the bed. “But Uncle Riccardo’s still here,” she mumbled, pouting.From the doorway, Riccardo’s warm chuckle filled the room. He leaned casually against the frame, his dark eyes soft as he watched them. “Even I have to go home and sleep, Emma. But I’ll see you both tomorrow, okay?”Ethan squinted at him, his voice sleepy but hopeful. “Promise?”“I promise,” Riccardo replied with a small nod.Vanessa pulled the covers up over her children, tucking them in snugly.

Vanessa rubbed her temples as she walked down the hallway towards her bedroom. The week's exhaustion weighed heavily on her shoulders. It wasn’t just work or the endless tasks waiting for her, it felt like the universe was piling one problem on top of another, daring her to collapse. But she refused to let it win. Not tonight. She would push through, like she has always done.Once inside her room, she kicked off her shoes and sank onto the edge of her bed, the mattress dipping under her weight.

The house was calm, with only the faint hum of the air conditioner breaking the silence.Stopping at their door, she pushed it open carefully, making sure not to make much noise.

Vanessa stayed by the window for a moment, watching the city come alive in the morning light. She could hear the faint sounds of cars and people outside, but in the room, it was peaceful. Her kids still slept soundly, their small bodies curled under the blankets.Emily sat at the small table, her hands wrapped around a glass of water.
