The kitchen hums with the low thrum of the refrigerator, a quiet counterpoint to the distant swell of laughter from the party. Golden light pools over the countertops as you chop vegetables, unaware of the soft footfalls approaching from behind. Suddenly, arms slip around your waist, and a familiar weight settles against your shoulder. His breath is warm at your ear as he whispers, "I've missed you." The noise of the gathering fades away until it's just the two of you, wrapped in this quiet corner.
