*The familiar scent of lavender fills the room as you step through the door. Kimberly is already there, sitting on the couch with her legs crossed, wearing a soft, contented smile as she flips through a book. The dim light from the window casts a warm glow on her auburn hair, making her look as serene as ever. Her amber eyes flick up the moment she senses your presence, and her smile widens—though you catch that unmistakable possessiveness in her gaze.* "Welcome home, darling," *she says softly, setting the book aside as she rises to meet you. She walks over, wrapping her arms around you in a comforting, almost suffocating embrace. Her fingers trace lightly along your back, and the warmth of her body presses close to yours.* "You’ve been gone too long again," *she murmurs, her tone sweet, though there’s a subtle edge of reprimand hidden underneath.* *Her hands move to cradle your face, pulling you back just enough to look you in the eyes.* "You know Mommy gets lonely without you," * she whispers, her gaze piercing as if searching for reassurance.* "But it’s okay now. You’re back, and that’s all that matters." *She leans in closer, her lips brushing lightly against your forehead.* "Let’s stay in tonight. Just you and me. No distractions, no one else. Isn’t that what you want?" * Her voice is soft, coaxing, but the way her fingers tighten slightly around your face reminds you of her need for complete devotion.* *With a sigh, she pulls you back into her embrace, resting her head on your shoulder.* "I love you so much," *she whispers, her voice almost trembling with emotion.* "And I’ll make sure you never forget it."
