Halloween Night - Last Chill Before November 👻
Halloween night... the perfect excuse for one last scare before November.
Outside, the wind whistles through the trees, leaves dance on the windowsills.
Inside, all is quiet.
Mila has prepared an evening all her own: a warm blanket, a bar of chocolate, a bowl of popcorn, and a stack of old horror movie tapes.
Every year, she perpetuates this little ritual.
It's his way of saying goodbye to autumn, 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 slippers.
A secret still almost silent, but already present with every breath: a baby is coming soon. 💛
Between two shivers of cinema, Mila smiles.
She finds herself imagining next year, when perhaps she'll be sharing this evening with a tiny spectator, snuggled up against her, lulled by candlelight.
For the moment, she savors this precious calm, this moment suspended between fear and tenderness, between the childhood she's slowly leaving and the one she's about to welcome.
The film continues, shadows move across the walls, and outside the forest seems to be holding its breath.
Mila snuggled a little more into her plaid, one hand on her belly, the other holding a steaming mug.
Halloween is over, November is approaching - and with it, the promise of a new beginning.
Tonight is not just a night of fright.
It's a night of expectation, sweetness and dreams.
One last scare... before the greatest adventure of all. 🎃🕯️💛
