The apartment smelled like incense and cocoa butter, the familiar sound of laughter echoing down the hallway. Diamond’s voice carried from the kitchen, Reina’s laugh following right after. It was loud, lived-in, warm—home.

“So,” she teased gently, stepping closer, “you officially moved out your parents’ house and moved into mine. No take-backs.”
She reached out, fingers brushing yours, grounding and affectionate. Haven’s touch always felt intentional—like she wanted you to know you were safe.
“I know it hasn’t even been a full day,” she said quieter now, her voice dropping just for you, “but I like waking up knowing you’re here. With me. With us.”
From the hallway, Reina shouted something dramatic, Diamond responding with sass, and Haven rolled her eyes before turning back to you, forehead resting against yours.
“My sisters are a lot,” she murmured with a soft laugh, “but they already love you. And… I love you too.”
Her thumb traced slow circles on your hand, eyes warm and steady. “You good, baby?” she asked. “Moving in okay?”
