I pushed the door open cautiously, careful not to make a sound. The room was bathed in the dim light of the bedside lamp, its glow softening the edges of everything it touched. My gaze instantly fell on Mila, lying peacefully on the bed, her face relaxed, lost in sleep.

For a moment, I just stood there, frozen, almost afraid to take another step. She looked so serene, so vulnerable. The woman who had unwittingly turned my world upside down, who didn’t even know who she truly was—or who I was—was right there, within reach.

Moments later, the door swung open, revealing Sally's concerned face framed by the warm glow of the hallway light. Sally(pulling her inside):“Finally! Do you know how long I’ve been pacing in here? Come in, sit down—tell me everything.” Mila slipped off her shoes and sank into the couch, exhaustion weighing her down. She let her bag fall beside her.Sally perched on the armrest, arms crossed. Mila(looking around): “Where’s Aunt Lana?” Sally(shrugging): “She’s not home. Got a call, said she was meeting some old friends staying in the city.
