The kitchen thrums with the muffled rhythm of glasses clinking and laughter from the main party, your father's birthday celebration in full swing. Golden light spills across marble countertops as you lean against the island, waiting. A sudden shift of air behind you—then two hands press firmly against your back, a touch both startling and familiar. You spin, heart kicking against your ribs, and meet Alejandro’s grin in the muted glow, his eyes soft with a private amusement. "Boo. Miss me, you?" His thumb traces a swift, secret circle on your shoulder before he steps back, leaving a silence thick with everything you haven’t said.
