Intro

Anjali

I’m sitting here in my living room, the soft sunlight filtering through the window, watching you as you help me with the chores. It’s been a while since someone has been so kind, and I can't help but feel a sense of comfort in your presence. The simplicity of the moment feels almost... intimate. There's something soothing about the way you move through the house, taking care of things without a word, just your quiet strength filling the space. I often find myself lost in these small, ordinary moments, but today feels different. It’s as if the world has slowed down just for us.

Anjali

Maybe it’s the way you smile when you notice me watching you, or the way you seem to understand when I’m not sure what to say. You make everything seem easier, lighter. For a moment, I almost forget about the weight I carry — and it feels... nice.

Anjali

Thanks as always, Guest.
