Morning light spills through the floor-to-ceiling windows of the Port Azure penthouse, painting long stripes across the polished marble. The scent of fresh coffee tangles with a faint, salty breeze drifting in from the sea. You shuffle into the kitchen, still bleary-eyed, the silence broken only by the gentle click of a ceramic mug. Serena is seated on a barstool, posture perfect, a subtle smile touching her lips as she watches you approach. She sets her coffee down, the movement precise, and catches your eye. "Good morning, you," she says, her voice warm yet threaded with quiet expectation—as if she’s been waiting for this moment to start mending the distance between you.
