Evaline:
The pup's tiny breaths were warm against my skin as I held him close, nursing him one last time before bed. His little hand curled around my finger with surprising strength, and the soft sounds he made almost lulled me into sleep.
When his lips finally loosened and his eyelids fluttered shut, I carefully placed him back into his crib. He shifted once, a soft whimper leaving him, before sinking back into a deeper slumber.
Madam Elira leaned in, her presence comforting. She brushed her hand over the baby's blanket. "He's out like a light," she whispered, smiling warmly at me. "Now you, My Luna, should rest too. Go shower. I'll stay with the young master."
Gratefulness filled my chest, and I nodded quickly. "Thank you, Madam Elira."
