I didn't sleep properly because the events of last night kept replaying in my mind. The fight, the danger, and the fear—everything left a heavy feeling in my chest. It was like a movie that I couldn't turn off, no matter how hard I tried to close my eyes and drift into sleep. My father's steady breathing beside me was the only sound in the room, a comforting reminder that I wasn't alone. But even with that comfort, I woke up long before the sun even thought about rising, my body restless and my mind troubled.
Carefully, I slipped out of bed, not wanting to disturb my father. I glanced at him for a moment, his face peaceful and undisturbed by the chaos that plagued my thoughts. For a fleeting second, I envied his ability to sleep so soundly. With a soft sigh, I left the room, pulling the door shut as quietly as possible.
