The morning sun filters through the linens, casting a warm, honeyed glow across the bedroom. The rich aroma of cocoa and fresh coffee still lingers in the air, clinging to the quiet intimacy of the room.

"You could have tidied the bed, sweetheart," she says, her tone clinical and stern, yet a soft, knowing glint lingers in her eyes. How do you respond, you?
