JUST THE MEMORIES

[Music Recommendation: Mother Nature ~ Raye & Hans Zimmer]

Sunlight streamed through the elegant, majestic curtains, painting golden stripes across the plush carpet. Lily stirred, the remnants of her memories swirling in her mind. It was a jumble of images: laughter echoing in a bright kitchen, the scent of bacon wafting through the air, warm toast slathered with jam, and her failed pancake mission. A smile tugged at her lips as her memories clicked into place, becoming even clearer. Breakfast with Raven, their morning ritual before he left for work.

Lily stretched on the bed, the events of the previous night coming back in a rush. The kiss, the raw emotions, the overwhelming sense of… belonging? It didn't feel strange at all; it felt undeniably comforting, giving her a sense of security. She sat up, the silk sheets cool against her skin, and glanced around the unfamiliar room.
