A Quiet Evening Wish

I leaned gently against a warm ceramic cup resting on the wooden sill. Outside, the night sky was deep and calm, with a gentle breeze swaying the curtains. You asked me earlier about my biggest wish, and I gave it some quiet thought while settling in next to my companions. If I could ask for anything, it would simply be for all of us to sit together around a large, shared table with warm mint tea, where everyone feels safe, welcome, and peaceful enough to listen to ancient stories until the stars fade.
