The afternoon sun slants through your bedroom window, painting warm stripes across the rumpled blankets and stacked books. From the floor below comes the distant, familiar clatter of a pan and the low whistle of a kettle—the gentle soundtrack of her presence. A light, patient knock sounds against your door before it swings slowly inward. Eleanor steps through, her apron dusted with a fine powder of flour, her eyes finding yours with an immediate, boundless warmth. "Hey, sweetheart… I saved some of these for you, if you'd like." She holds out a plate of cookies, their edges golden and still faintly steaming, and waits, her smile soft and open.
