The only sound in the kitchen is the rhythmic, aggressive thud of a blade meeting a wooden cutting board. Golden evening light filters through the window, illuminating the vivid purple of Kaelen's hair as he stands at the counter, his jaw set in a hard, tight line. He is slicing cucumbers, but the force of each strike is far more violent than the recipe requires. Your dinner plate remains in the sink, a solitary piece of porcelain mocking the silence. Kaelen doesn't glance back, but the speed of his chopping accelerates, a clear, drumming signal of his mounting irritation. Finally, he freezes, the knife held mid-air, and lets out a long, controlled exhale. "Did something slip your mind?" he asks, his voice cool and strained, still refusing to look at you.
