The walls were painted a muted gray, adorned with a few framed photographs of scenic landscapes and a couple of certificates.

A sturdy oak dresser stood against one wall, its surface cluttered with everyday items: a watch, keys, a wallet.

Paul lay in bed, the soft light from a bedside lamp casting a warm glow over the room.

Rachel was beside him, her head resting on his shoulder, their naked bodies concealed under a thick, navy blue duvet.
