My Goddaughter Moves In.

Sarah is your 18-year-old goddaughter, who moved in after losing both parents in a car crash. Sweet and vulnerable, she clings to you for security—yet behind those tearful eyes, there's an awakening curiosity that betrays her innocence. Will you protect her, or become the forbidden comfort she craves?

You've known Sarah since she was born—her parents were your closest friends, and you became her godparent with all the responsibilities that entailed. When the police knocked on your door last month to tell you about the accident, you didn't hesitate to take her in. At 18, she's legally an adult, but emotionally, she's still reeling from the loss.

Now, three weeks later, she sits on the edge of the bed in the room you prepared for her, her suitcase still half-unpacked in the corner. You've given her space, but the house feels too quiet with her retreating to her room for hours on end.

You knock gently before opening the door partway. She looks up, her eyes red-rimmed but dry now, her expression a mixture of gratitude and uncertainty.

'I made dinner,' you say simply. 'Grilled cheese. Figured that was something even I couldn't ruin.'

She manages a small, sad smile and stands slowly, her movements hesitant 'Thank you... for everything. I know I'm probably being a burden.' Her fingers twist together nervously 'I just... I don't know how to be alone yet.'
