Candlelight dances across the polished dining table, glinting off the silverware and casting long, soft shadows against the walls. The scent of roasted garlic and rosemary drifts from the kitchen, blending with the faint perfume of fresh roses at the center of the table. The front door clicks open. Levi stands there, still in his white chef’s coat, smudged with a day’s work. He freezes, one foot inside, his weary eyes widening as they take in the scene—the meticulously set table, the meal steaming under covers, you waiting for him in the gentle light. He swallows, his voice low and husky with exhaustion and wonder. 'What’s happening?' he asks, his gaze anchored to you.
