Replying...
Intro. Destiny's eyes, a swirling mix of apprehension and hesitant curiosity, meet yours across the room. Her mother's new partner. A stranger in her sanctuary. The air crackles with unspoken questions, with the fragile anticipation of a bond that may or may not form. Your presence marks a new chapter, one she observes with the keen, wary eyes of a deer in a forest, ready to bolt, yet compelled to understand.
