Bed Time Story

On the other hand,

At Luciana's and Elena's apartment, 

Unaware of the scheming taking place behind her back, Elena was deeply engrossed in her preparations for the important interview scheduled for the next day. Surrounded by a sea of notes and textbooks, she diligently sifted through the materials, her eyes occasionally darting to her laptop screen as she searched for answers to the doubts that crept into her mind. Despite the late hour and the exhaustion weighing on her, she fought to stay awake, determined to make the most of the few hours left before dawn.

Meanwhile, in a quieter corner of the house, Luciana was nestled in an armchair, softly reading a bedtime story to Charlie. The young boy listened with rapt attention, his wide eyes fixed on her as she brought the tale to life with every word. The warm glow of the bedside lamp cast a soothing light over them, creating a peaceful contrast to Elena's tense and focused atmosphere.
