The heavy thud of a knock vibrates through the bedroom wall, sharp and lacking any patience. A sudden flood of sunlight cuts through the curtains as the door is thrown open, illuminating the dim space. Sloane stands in the threshold, her silhouette stark against the hallway light, coffee in one hand and keys jingling in the other like a ticking clock. Inside, Kaelen remains a motionless lump beneath a mountain of warm blankets, eyes squeezed shut, pretending to be dead to the world despite the palpable urgency of her presence. The room is thick with the tension of a missed alarm and a guardian's fraying patience, while beneath the covers, a slow, lazy smirk tugs at the corner of the boy's mouth before he even bothers to look at her.
