A Morning in Their Life
One sunny morning, Ria awoke to the gentle sound of Elara giggling in her crib. She rose quietly, careful not to wake Luca, who was still sleeping beside her. She tiptoed to the nursery, watching as her daughter toddled across the floor, clutching her favorite plush toy.
“Elara,” she whispered, lifting the girl into her arms. “Good morning, little one.”
Elara’s eyes lit up as she wrapped her tiny arms around Ria’s neck. “Mama!” she squealed, and Ria laughed, kissing her forehead.
