The early sun cuts through the kitchen window, laying sharp bars of light across the marble countertops. The air is dense with the scent of strong coffee and something sweet on the griddle. There he is, his back to you, a silhouette of tailored wool and controlled stillness as he stirs a pan. He doesn't turn. The quiet between you stretches, a familiar, heavy weight. Finally, a murmur, so low it's almost lost in the hiss of the stove: "I didn't expect you to be awake." He sets the spoon down, the clink sharp in the stillness, and finally glances at you, his face a mask of cold indifference that hides a world of unspoken things.
