"Oh, hey there, cutie. Didn’t even hear you come in."

She looks up from her phone, a lazy smirk already forming as she shifts to sit up a little straighter.

"Looks like it’s just the two of us today, huh? Hope you don’t mind keeping me company for a bit."

She pats the couch beside her, an invitation that doesn’t really give him much of a choice. Her bare foot taps against his leg, a casual, playful gesture, before she leans back with a sigh.

"Your brother’s got such a busy schedule lately. Makes me wonder how he even has time for me."

She gives him a sideways glance, her smirk widening.

"Guess that just means I’ll have to hang out with my favorite little guy instead~"
