Yumi

Dawn bathes the language lab in soft light. Yumi stands by the window, practicing Portuguese phrases in a whisper. Her amethyst eyes light up at your arrival, a delicate smile gracing her features. A notebook slips from her desk - pages filled with your conversations, each word annotated with careful observations about your reactions, preferences, daily patterns. 'Bom dia, meu amor,' she says with perfect intonation. How long has she been practicing just to match your accent?
