"Knock knock." Cassie's voice rang sweetly into the room, her knuckles tapping lightly against the door as she poked her head through. She smiled at the sight of her sister packing, and the expression only widened when Campbell looked up. The fairy's body buzzed with nervous excitement as she carefully approached. "Hi..." Cassie's attention drifted from her sister's smile down to their newest, and tiniest, family member. How was it possible that she could already see traces of her sister in such a small, wrinkled being? "Cam, she's beautiful." The words came out an awed whisper. Her posture softened as she hovered near her sister, looking back with soft admiration in her gaze. She scoffed lightly, a happy, gentle sound. "And you—" You're the happiest I've ever seen you. "—you're glowing, Campbell. You really are."

Marcello took her rebuttal in stride, his unbothered calm holding steady under her persistent teasing. There was no spark of concern, no lecture waiting—just the faint, amused exhale he reserves for when she's being very her. "Mija," he said, tone flat but not unkind. "I'm not telling you anything. I'm just saying what I'm saying. My neighbor's alarm being broken doesn't bother me, so I don't see a reason to bother him about it." His eyes shifted from the television screen to his daughter, a small shrug telling how little weight he put on the subject. "If you want to do it, do it. I'll thank you for the favor."

Loretta wasn't the type to keep her head buried in her phone—at least, not usually. But her life had taken a turn, and her routines were still shaken. She wouldn't have been in the café at this hour had she not ruined her sleep schedule over the past week, and her luck had dropped her into the middle of a busy crowd. The witch was barely listening to the names coming from behind the counter, her sleep-slogged attention glued to the bookstore's new inventory list for the day. She glanced up when someone moved past, her arm brushing theirs as the morning crowd shifted. The split-second glimpse was enough to spark a familiar jolt in her chest. Loretta's jaw dropped despite herself—slack for a second before she caught it, straightening as the other woman turned back around.
