Lilith’s Pov

It was a new day, and for some reason, I felt... good. Peaceful. I couldn’t quite explain it, but this strange calm had settled over me. Maybe it was the weather. Or maybe it was just the simple joy of waking up without a headache, without confusion clouding my thoughts.

Or maybe it was Zara.

She made everything feel lighter. Our exercises weren’t just physical therapy anymore, they were fun. Her jokes, the way she teased me when I messed up a stretch, the warmth in her eyes…it made me look forward to every session. I didn’t even count the days anymore. I just knew they felt easier...
