“Did you ever notice how different rooms feel depending on the pillows?” Mara asked as she set a folded note on the counter.
    “I notice it the moment I lie down,” Dev replied. “Some pillows stay warm and some stay calm. It changes the whole night.”
    Mara laughed softly. “I started keeping a tiny list. Not a big list, just a few lines. ‘Too tall,’ ‘too flat,’ ‘stays cool,’ ‘needs a better cover.’ It’s oddly satisfying.”
    “That sounds like you,” Dev said. “You label everything. Even your tea jars.”
    “It helps when I’m tired,” Mara said. “I don’t want decisions at the end of the day.”
    Dev leaned on the table. “So what’s on the list today?”
    “Two things,” Mara answered. “A reminder to wash the pillow protectors, and a note that I slept better when the room was quiet and the pillow didn’t hold heat.”
    “Quiet is underrated,” Dev said. “Also, you should stop reading before bed.”
    “I’ll stop when you stop suggesting documentaries at midnight,” Mara replied.
    Dev grinned. “Fair. Let’s agree on one calm routine: dim lights, water on the nightstand, and pillows that don’t feel like they’ve been sitting in the sun.”
    Mara nodded. “That’s a plan I can keep.”
                          Marriott
                          Past-year stay appreciation
                            A thank-you for your recent stay: luxury cooling pillow set
                            Because you stayed at a Marriott Hotel or a Marriott partnered hotel within the past year, you can receive a 2‐pillow luxury cooling set provided at no charge. To have the pillows shipped, please complete a very quick questionnaire. After you finish it, you can also claim a 2‐night stay at select locations, provided at no charge.
                                  Get started: pillows + 2 nights
                            Ends Tomorrow. One pillow set per household.
                            Program summary
                            Eligibility: Open to households receiving this message due to a Marriott or Marriott partner stay within the past year.
                            Included: A 2‐pillow luxury cooling set provided at no charge, plus access to claim a 2‐night stay at select locations after the questionnaire is completed, provided at no charge.
                            Billing: You will not be billed for the pillows or the qualifying stay nights.
                            Allocation: Total pillow allocation is 500.
                      What’s included in the luxury cooling pillow set
                                  Breathable feel: materials designed to allow airflow so heat doesn’t build up quickly.
                                  Cool-to-the-touch cover: a smooth surface that feels refreshing at bedtime.
                                  Balanced support: helps keep head and neck aligned for more comfortable rest.
                                  Moisture-aware comfort: designed to feel drier through the night in warmer rooms.
                                  Reduced heat retention: built to avoid that “warm pillow” feeling after you turn.
                                  Two-pillow set: a matched pair for consistent comfort across the bed.
                      Availability note: quantities are determined by program planning, and access to stay dates and participating locations is based on program scheduling.
                            What you’ll do
                            1) Complete the short questionnaire.
                            2) Confirm your shipping details for the 2‐pillow set provided at no charge.
                            3) After submitting, follow the instructions to claim the 2‐night stay at select locations provided at no charge.
                                  Continue to questionnaire
                            Ends Tomorrow. Total pillow allocation: 500.
                      Thank you for staying with Marriott. Your experience helps guide how we recognize past-year guests and partner-hotel visitors.
    “I left the note on your desk,” Rowan said. “Not because it’s important, but because I knew you’d ask later.”
    “You know me too well,” Tessa replied. “Was it the note about the hallway being noisy again?”
    “That, and the reminder to switch the lamp to the warmer bulb,” Rowan said. “The bright one makes the room feel like morning, even when it isn’t.”
    Tessa paused. “I didn’t realize lighting could change how quickly I settle down.”
    “It does,” Rowan said. “So does the texture of the sheets, and the way the pillow feels when you turn over.”
    “You’re turning this into a whole checklist,” Tessa said, sounding amused.
    “Not a checklist,” Rowan replied. “More like small observations. Like how a cool surface feels calmer, or how a steady shape keeps your shoulders from tensing.”
    Tessa tapped the desk lightly. “Okay, I’ll try your approach. What’s the first observation?”
    “Start with the basics,” Rowan said. “A glass of water nearby, a room that’s not too bright, and something comfortable under your head that doesn’t trap warmth.”
    “And if I wake up?” Tessa asked.
    “Then you reset gently,” Rowan answered. “You adjust the pillow, take a slow breath, and don’t argue with the clock. The goal isn’t perfection; it’s ease.”
    Tessa nodded. “Ease sounds good. I’ll keep the note, and I’ll add one of my own: stop scrolling so late.”
    Rowan chuckled. “That’s the hardest one to keep, but it’s worth trying.”

    “I left the note on your desk,” Rowan said. “Not because it’s important, but because I knew you’d ask later.”<br><br>
    “You know me too well,” Tessa replied. “Was it the note about the hallway being noisy again?”<br><br>
    “That, and the reminder to switch the lamp to the warmer bulb,” Rowan said. “The bright one makes the room feel like morning, even when it isn’t.”<br><br>
    Tessa paused. “I didn’t realize lighting could change how quickly I settle down.”<br><br>
    “It does,” Rowan said. “So does the texture of the sheets, and the way the pillow feels when you turn over.”<br><br>
    “You’re turning this into a whole checklist,” Tessa said, sounding amused.<br><br>
    “Not a checklist,” Rowan replied. “More like small observations. Like how a cool surface feels calmer, or how a steady shape keeps your shoulders from tensing.”<br><br>
    Tessa tapped the desk lightly. “Okay, I’ll try your approach. What’s the first observation?”<br><br>
    “Start with the basics,” Rowan said. “A glass of water nearby, a room that’s not too bright, and something comfortable under your head that doesn’t trap warmth.”<br><br>
    “And if I wake up?” Tessa asked.<br><br>
    “Then you reset gently,” Rowan answered. “You adjust the pillow, take a slow breath, and don’t argue with the clock. The goal isn’t perfection; it’s ease.”<br><br>
    Tessa nodded. “Ease sounds good. I’ll keep the note, and I’ll add one of my own: stop scrolling so late.”<br><br>
    Rowan chuckled. “That’s the hardest one to keep, but it’s worth trying.”
