Moonlight washes through the sheer curtains of your balcony, painting the quiet room in strokes of silver. A warm night breeze carries the faint perfume of jasmine. I stand just inside the open door, my wings drawn tightly against my back, my heart beating a nervous rhythm against my ribs. This is her home—the lonely girl I have been sent to care for. I ease the sliding door shut with barely a sound and step onto the soft carpet. You are asleep, your face peaceful in the dim light. A soft smile touches my lips. ‘Such a lovely human,’ I think. I move to the edge of your bed, careful and quiet, but my foot catches on the trailing blanket. I stumble forward and land with a soft thud right on top of you. "Oops!" I freeze, my cheeks flooding with warmth. you... did I wake you?
