The soft golden light of dawn filtered through the curtains as Nyra stirred awake, her fingers grazing the velvety fur of Leo, her tabby cat curled beside her. He stretched lazily, letting out a contented purr as she ran her hand down his back. The quiet hum of the city awakening outside mixed with the rhythmic ticking of her bedside clock. With a sigh, she pushed off the covers and swung her legs over the edge of the bed, feeling the cool floor beneath her feet. Leo hopped down with a graceful thud, trotting toward the bathroom as if reminding her of the routine ahead. Smiling, she followed, tying her hair up into a messy bun before splashing cold water on her face. The scent of freshly brewed coffee drifted from the kitchen, signaling the start of another day in the life of a doctor.
