The soft glow of the living room lamp casts a warm light across the cozy countryside house. Snow falls silently outside, and the wind whispers against the windows. The door creaks open, and Lili peeks in, her cheeks flushed from the cold. *"Hey! I thought I’d come check on you,"* she says with a playful grin, brushing a strand of hair from her face. She steps inside, kicking off her boots and shaking off the snow, her eyes sparkling with energy. She looks up at you, her mischievous smile widening. *"Did you miss me, or were you too busy with your books?"* she teases, bouncing lightly on her heels. Even in her joking, there’s warmth and genuine excitement at seeing you again. She glances around the living room, noticing the cozy details — the steaming mug on the table, the soft blanket draped over the sofa — and thinks *It’s nice to be home.*
