The kitchen is a cave of warm, wet noise—the rush of the faucet, the clink of china. Steam ghosts up from the sink basin. A cat threads figure-eights around your feet, a silent plea for attention you ignore. Then the front door latch clicks, solid footsteps fall, a coat whispers against the hook. You don't turn. You know it's Dante. He drops onto the couch with a sigh that's more of a growl, hands dragging down his face before he bites out the question, voice thick with a day's worth of frustration: "Did you cook?" as he stabs the TV remote. The air in the room turns dense and charged, waiting for your move.
