Chapter 11: A Sweet Night

.
[Knight Mansion – Nighttime]
Aria sits in her study, eyes glued to the laptop screen. The soft glow of the monitor highlights her sharp features. A nearly full glass of wine sits untouched beside her.
[Knock, knock.]
Aria barely glances up before the door creaks open. Tiny footsteps approach.

Aria doesn’t respond. She simply holds Aurora close, her grip protective. Soon, both of them fall asleep.

[Next Morning – Aria’s Bedroom]
Eliza hesitates outside the door before slowly pushing it open. The sight inside makes her freeze.
Aurora is curled up on top of Aria, tiny arms wrapped around her. Aria holds Aurora protectively, her face calm, peaceful—even soft.
Eliza Walton

*Whispering* What…?
Her heart clenches. A mix of emotions rushes through her—shock, confusion, and something deep, unspoken.
