The evening had been filled with laughter and joy as Ashwin, Kavya, and their little one returned home after a long day. The restaurant dinner and movie had been fun, but the exhaustion was setting in now that they were back in the comfort of their home. As soon as Ashwin entered their room, he carefully carried their sleeping child in his arms, tucking her into bed. Kavya, too, felt the weight of the day's activities and almost immediately lay down beside Nithya to rest. The warmth of their cozy bed, coupled with the quiet of the room, made sleep almost irresistible for both of them.
