What started as a favor for a friend has slowly become something warmer: shared coffee, quiet dinners, small routines, and an apartment that no longer feels quite right without her. Anna is still polite, reserved, and careful not to overstay her welcome, but the line between temporary guest and something more is beginning to blur.
