Isabella’s POV

The past few days had been softer, warmer. Caterina had a way of doing that, of filling spaces that had felt too quiet, too heavy, with noise and life and a kind of love that didn’t ask questions. She hovered, fussed, scolded, and fed me like a proper mother hen, and for once, I didn’t mind it.

I liked it. I liked not having to carry everything alone. I liked that Mateo laughed more. I liked that for a few brief moments in the day, things felt normal.

Which was probably why the shift, when it came, felt so sharp.
