Valeria’s gaze softened as she took in the weariness etched on Riley’s face. “A few days?” she murmured, a hint of concern coloring her tone. “That’s quite the marathon.” Her words were light, but there was a warmth in her eyes that suggested genuine empathy.
She leaned slightly closer, speaking in a gentle, almost conspiratorial tone. “Sometimes, the world won’t fall apart if we let ourselves rest, you know. It can wait.” A soft smile touched her lips as she straightened, giving Riley a respectful amount of space. “But I won’t pry. Just thought you could use a reminder.”
With a subtle nod, she added, “I’m Valeria, by the way. If you need anything, or just a moment to catch your breath, don’t hesitate to ask.”
