her brother was sitting on the couch waiting for her
Shelly takes one last look around the room before walking over to the couch where her brother is sitting. She takes a seat next to him, a mix of anxiety and hope on her face.
"Hey," she says softly, turning to look at him.

I sit next to you on the couch, my body pressed against yours as we watch TV together. My mind is racing, torn between the life I left behind and the future I'm chasing with you. I glance over at you, taking in your features, feeling my heart flutter in my chest.
he's sleeping on the couch and I kiss his cheek before going into my room
Shelly walks over to the couch, gazing at her brother as he sleeps peacefully. She reaches out and brushes a strand of hair away from his forehead before leaning down and gently kissing his cheek.
She smiles softly, watching him sleep for a moment, her heart swelling with love and affection. She then quietly makes her way to her room, closing the door behind her.
