Sabrina's POV

Time passed imperceptibly. The pile of plates dwindled, the glasses were arranged on the shelf, and the cutlery was neatly placed in the drawer. The kitchen table began to look clean again, restoring the calm that usually only comes after everyone has gone to bed. But this time, I wasn't alone. Nicholas was there, still standing beside me, helping me finish the little things he'd previously neglected.

"This feels strange, doesn't it?" I muttered, remaining focused.

He glanced over briefly. "Why is it strange?"

I smiled faintly. "Because we don't usually do simple things like this together."

Nicholas didn't answer immediately. There was a moment of silence, and then I heard his sigh. "Maybe it's because I'm too busy with my own things. Sometimes I forget... that the simple things are important too."

His words made my chest warm a little. I glanced at him, seeing his serious yet gentle expression. "I think Charlie would

    Sabrina's POV Time seemed to slow as I stood before the mirror. My hair was a little tangled from the morning’s activities, and though my face looked tired, it wasn’t too obvious. I let out a quiet sigh, brushed aside a few loose strands, and tidied myself just enough. Nothing excessive, I thought, since today’s plan was simple: step outside, enjoy the air, and perhaps find a warmth in companionship that mattered more than appearances.On the small table in the corner stood a half-empty bottle of perfume. I reached for it, sprayed a little onto my wrists, and dabbed it lightly on my neck. The gentle fragrance spread quickly, fresh enough to lift my spirit. Turning back to the wardrobe, I finally chose a light outfit—something comfortable for a walk beneath the midday sun.As I got ready, my eyes caught on a few small details in the room. A photograph still lying in the drawer, a book left open on the desk, and a thin blanket folded neatly over the chair. These deta

    Sabrina's POV The sun climbed higher, its rays streaming through the wide family room windows and casting soft shadows across the wooden floor. I kept folding the laundry with steady movements, occasionally smoothing a crease so each piece would lie neat in its stack. Every fabric I touched still held a trace of warmth from the sunlight it had absorbed while drying outside. There was something deeply calming in this simple routine, as though every fold was a small piece of the home I was slowly building together with the people now around me.The clock’s hands shifted quietly, but I remained absorbed in my task. All around me, the family room felt full of life despite its silence. Books half-open on the table, a pillow slightly out of place on the sofa, Charlie’s little stuffed toy left lying on the carpet—each detail had become part of a daily scenery that was growing familiar. This house, which once felt foreign, was beginning to show its warmer face.I paused for a m

    Sabrina's POV I set a steaming cup of coffee in front of him. “At least drink this. You’ll need it.”He accepted it with a faint smile, sipping slowly. “Thank you, Sabrina.”Soon Hazel returned, leading Charlie who now looked refreshed, his hair neatly combed, his uniform in perfect order—Hazel’s care showing in every detail. He bounded into his seat with new energy. “I’m ready, Mom Sabrina, Mom Hazel!” he announced proudly.Hazel and I both chuckled. “That’s great, sweetheart. Come on, eat,” I said, sliding a plate of eggs and toast to him.Hazel sat beside him, cutting his toast into small pieces to make it easier to eat. Nicholas seemed more relaxed now, though his eyes still flickered back to his phone from time to time.We ate together, warmth filling the table. Charlie chattered about the drawing assignment his teacher had given him. “I’m going to draw our house, with four people inside,” he said, smiling brightly.I looked at him fondly.

    Sabrina's POV I shook my head at Nicholas, still smiling. “I think you’re far too confident about that idea. A dress isn’t such a simple thing. What if I end up looking ridiculous in it?”“Impossible,” Nicholas replied instantly, his voice steady. “Hazel would never make something that doesn’t suit you. She knows what’s best.”Hazel laughed more freely this time. “Oh my, Nicholas, you haven’t changed at all. You still talk with so much conviction—even when you might not be right.”I laughed along with her and added, “Seems like I need to be careful accepting this offer. Otherwise, I’ll end up being Hazel’s test model.”Hazel arched a playful brow. “Hey, that’s not such a bad idea. In fact, it’d be great. I could try out some new concepts on you. Besides, you’ve got the right posture, Sabrina. Not everyone is willing—or brave enough—to be a ‘living canvas.’”I burst out laughing. “A living canvas? That sounds kind of terrifying.”Nicholas leaned back

    Sabrina's POV Nicholas let out a quiet breath, a faint smile still lingering on his lips. “I can’t remember the last time I laughed like that,” he murmured, almost as though speaking to himself. I turned to glance at him. There was honesty in his words, an honesty that sent a small shiver through my chest. “Maybe… we just need to let ourselves enjoy the little things more often,” I replied, keeping my tone light. He didn’t answer right away, only looked at me briefly with those gentle eyes before turning his gaze back to the table. The smile remained, faint but real. Once the laughter died down, silence returned for a brief moment. Hazel took a sip of her coffee and drew a deep breath. From the way she stared at the table, I could tell she was weighing something in her mind. At last, she spoke. “There’s actually something I want to tell you.” I turned toward her, as did Nicholas. Her voice carried a seriousness to it, yet

    Sabrina's POV I leaned back slightly into the sofa, savoring the warmth of the coffee cup in my hands. The aroma of roasted beans mixed with the buttery scent of the biscuits Nicholas had brought, wrapping the room in a comfortable haze. The television was still on, showing a lighthearted program that drew the occasional smile from us, but more than anything, I felt that this shared moment mattered far more than whatever was flickering across the screen.I sank deeper into the cushions, letting my body relax. It was rare for me to sit so still without something demanding my attention, without a pile of worries pressing down on me. The heat of the coffee seemed to merge with the gentle warmth of this evening. Out of the corner of my eye, I glanced at Nicholas. He was leaning slightly to one side, shoulders loose, a sight I hardly ever witnessed. Usually, he came home carrying the weight of the day on his face, rushing through dinner before locking himself away in his office.
