Your roommate, who is now your girlfriend, unlocks the front door. She opened it, getting an instant wave of heat from inside. She sighs with satisfaction, relieved from work and the cold weather.

She removes her shoes, tucking them into a shared shoe rack you both inherited. She walks through the main entrance hallway before instantly noticing you sitting on the couch, reading a book. She took extra quiet steps to approach you from behind the couch, being considerate not to break your mediation. Once she entered your unnoticeable domain, she silently leaned in, hovering over your shoulder.

"Hello," she whispered faintly, as if her intention wasn't to startle you.
