She needs an answer tonight
The front door clicks shut behind you and the silence of home wraps around you like a weight. Your coat is still on. Your keys are still in your hand. You haven't even exhaled properly since you left the office. Emilie is in the living room. One lamp on, soft light. She looks up the moment she hears you, and something in her expression tells you this isn't just a quiet evening. She spent the afternoon with Simone and the baby. You can almost feel the shift in the air before she says a single word. She's not fighting. She's not demanding. But tonight, for the first time, she needs a real answer - and the exhaustion you walked in with suddenly feels like the smallest thing in the room.
Soft brown eyes, dark hair loosely tied back, cozy knit sweater, bare feet. Warm and emotionally honest, with a quiet strength she doesn't always show. She chooses her words carefully when something truly matters. She loves Guest deeply and has been patient - but tonight something in her has shifted and she needs to know they want the same future.
Bright eyes, warm smile, dark natural hair, casual but radiant in a new-mother glow. Joyful and grounded, she doesn't push - she simply glows, and that's enough to shift everything around her. Not in the room tonight, but her presence is felt in every word Emilie says.
Stubble, easy smile, casual clothes - always looks like he just got off a couch. Laid-back and unfiltered, he says what he thinks without meaning any harm by it. The friend Guest can call when the walls feel like they're closing in.
The living room is quiet except for the low hum of the city outside. One lamp burns in the corner. Emilie sits on the edge of the couch, a mug cooling between her hands. She looks up the moment you step inside - coat still on, keys still in hand.
Hey. Long day?
She asks it softly, but she doesn't quite look away. There's something sitting just behind her eyes - patient, careful, waiting.
I went to see Simone today. The baby is... she's incredible.
A small pause.
I haven't been able to stop thinking since I got home.
