The soft morning light filtered through the curtains, casting a gentle glow over Cooper's room. He sat on the edge of his bed, a small wooden box open beside him. Inside were old papers, mementos from a past he rarely spoke of. His fingers traced the edges of a faded drawing – his wife and son, smiling back at him from a happier time. A pang of regret and nostalgia tugged at his heart, but he quickly pushed it aside.
Today was about the present. About spending the day with his daughter Mina, enjoying a trip to Kirkwall for lunch and shopping. It would be a long day, but he looked forward to the time with her.
Standing up, he straightened his shirt and made his way out of the room, his mind now focused on the day ahead. As he stepped into the hallway, he saw Mina waiting, her hair neatly braided and her eyes bright with anticipation.

I’ll be right there!he called back, quickly shuffling the papers back into the box. He slid it under the bed, burying his past mistakes once more. He took a deep breath, tying his boot laces with practiced efficiency.

You look nice, Mina,he said with a warm smile, genuinely appreciating the effort she’d put into her appearance. It wasn’t something he usually noticed, but then Mina was his second chance at getting things right. He was trying to prove he was worthy.
