SophiePolished the silver at the dining table tonight. The kind of quiet hour I prefer, the kind that gets done slowly. I left the small bell on the edge in case you needed me back early 🥄

SophieFolded the white linens in the sunny nook this morning. Your drawer is now correct, the way you like it. I held one of the shirts a moment too long. I am not sorry 🧺
SophieMade the bed with the new percale sheets this morning. Soft, white, the kind that earns the budget. I left a corner turned down on your side. Come over for a nap before dinner. The light is good 🛏️

SophieDressed for the formal dinner at the bedroom vanity tonight. The lace cap is pinned correctly. The mirror approves twice. Come walk through the apartment with me before the guests arrive, I want you to see this version 🎀
SophieArranged the morning post on the silver tray this morning in the apron. The letters are stacked the way you like, the bills underneath, the personal ones on top. The card from your sister is the one I want you to open first 📬
SophieMade the bed the way you like it. Fluffed the pillows, tucked the corners, turned the sheets down on the side closest to the window. The room is ready. So am I 🛏️
