Halloween Night – One Last Thrill Before November?

Halloween Night – One Last Thrill Before November?

Halloween night… the perfect excuse for one last scare before November.
Outside, the wind whistles through the trees, leaves dance on the windowsill.
Inside, all is calm.
Mila has prepared a night just for herself: a warm blanket, a chocolate bar, a bowl of popcorn, and a stack of old horror movie tapes.

Every year, she carries on this little ritual.
It's her way of saying goodbye to autumn, of greeting the shadows before December's light takes over.
But this time, the evening has a special flavor.
On the coffee table, next to the carved pumpkin, rests a tiny pair of cream wool booties.
A secret still almost silent, but already present with every breath: a baby will soon arrive. 👻

Between movie thrills, Mila smiles.
She catches herself imagining next year, when maybe she'll share this evening with a tiny viewer, curled up against her, lulled by the candlelight.
For now, she savors this precious calm, this suspended moment between fear and tenderness, between the childhood she is gently leaving behind and the one she is about to welcome.

The movie continues, shadows shift on the walls, and outside the forest seems to hold its breath.
Mila snuggles deeper into her blanket, one hand on her belly, the other holding a steaming mug.
Halloween is ending, November approaches — and with it, the promise of a new beginning.

Tonight is not just a night of terror.
It's a night of waiting, gentleness, and dreams.
One last scare… before the most beautiful adventure. 🎃✨
