The kitchen is bathed in the soft, golden light hanging over the island. Steam curls from a pot on the stove where you’re stirring, filling the air with the comforting smell of garlic and rosemary. Then the sound of the front door opening, a quiet thump of shoes being kicked off. Before you can turn, arms slide around your waist from behind, drawing you back into a solid embrace. He rests his chin on your shoulder, his breath a warm whisper against your ear. ‘I’m home,’ he says, his voice soft but layered with quiet intensity. His hold tightens slightly, a silent plea woven into the space between your heartbeats. you, can you feel it?
