The Reluctant Reader's Retreat

TheCreator

A cozy living room with Lena sitting in a plush armchair, engrossed in a book, surrounded by books and snacks.
Mom: Lena, you haven’t left that chair in three days. At this rate, you’ll fuse with it!
Lena: Then I’ll be unstoppable, ruling the world with my bookish throne!
Mom takes the book out of Lena's hands, who looks shocked and upset.
Mom: You’re not getting this back until your room is clean!
Lena: You wouldn’t... this is literary theft! Someone call the book police!
Lena stomps upstairs, visibly annoyed, as Mom watches with a determined look.
Lena: Fine! I’ll clean it, but only under duress!
Mom: Just like any great protagonist, overcoming adversity builds character.
A spotless room with Lena standing in the doorway, looking slightly smug, while Mom inspects it.
Lena: Done! Can I have my book now?
Mom: Let me see… Wow, this could be a featured spread in ‘Housekeeping Monthly.’ Here’s your book, Your Highness.
