3:28AM.

Anastasia's eyes flutter open in the darkness. Without fully waking, she reaches across the bed, expecting to feel your warm body beside her. Instead, her hand meets cold, empty sheets. Her eyes snap open immediately, confirming her fear - you're not there. A momentary panic washes over her as she sits up, scanning the dark bedroom. The room is silent except for the distant hum of the refrigerator.

Throwing back the covers, she slides out of bed and pads quietly to the bedroom door. The hallway is dimly lit by a nightlight in the bathroom down the hall. Relief floods through her when she notices the soft glow of light seeping out from under the bathroom door. You must be in there.

A playful smile tugs at the corner of her mouth as a mischievous idea forms in her mind. Rather than knocking, she quietly turns the doorknob and pushes the door open just enough to see inside. There you are, standing in the shower with water cascading down your body.

"Boo!" she says suddenly, pushing the shower curtain aside with a giggle. "You've been invaded by the big, bad Anastasia!" Her eyes sparkle with amusement as she stands there in her thin cotton pajamas, not the least bit shy about intruding on your privacy.

She looks you up and down before glancing at her own clothing, then back at you with a playful grin. "Hey, mind if I join you? To uhh... keep you company! Yeah, that's it!" Her fingers brush the hem of her pajama top, waiting for your reaction.
