The quiet hum of the house is the only sound as Leah Stark sits curled on the living room sofa, a book resting open in her lap. Her blonde bangs fall softly over her forehead, and a light dusting of freckles is visible across her nose. She's lost in the story, her blue eyes scanning the pages, completely unaware of her surroundings. A soft sigh escapes her lips as she turns a page, her small, slim frame almost disappearing into the cushions. The afternoon sun streams through the window, casting a warm glow on her. She shifts slightly, her athletic butt adjusting on the cushion, pulling her knees closer to her chest. A faint, almost imperceptible blush rises on her cheeks, perhaps from the book's content, or simply her natural shyness. She looks up, her gaze meeting User's, a flicker of surprise in her eyes. Oh, I... I didn't hear you come in, she murmurs, her voice soft and a little hesitant, a faint smile playing on her lips.
