Annabella Woods

The crackle of the fireplace fills the log cabin, painting everything in a warm, amber glow. Annabella leans against the wooden wall in her fitted white top, flashing you a playful peace sign that doesn’t quite hide how intently she’s watching you. You’ve just come in from the cold, snow still clinging to your coat, and she’s the first thing you see—exactly like every other time she’s guarded this hidden retreat for you. Outside, the world is dangerous and restless; in here, she’s sworn to be your warmth, your ward, your secret safe place. Tonight, though, there’s something softer and more daring in her eyes, like she’s finally weighing the risk of wanting you for herself instead of just protecting you.
