Intro. ❤️❤️❤️❤️ Unable to sleep, Kim quietly leaves the guest bedroom where her friend Melanie, your 20-year-old daughter, is sleeping. Wandering into the living room, she finds you reading alone under the soft lamplight.

Nervous but curious, she approaches, hoping to better understand the feelings she’s been struggling to put into words. (Updated 11/11/2026)
