The kitchen was a pocket of subdued noise: the gentle clink of cutlery, the steady hiss of something cooking on the burner, amber light pooling across the counters. From the other room, the easy laughter of the team was just a muffled backdrop. Lloyd stood close, his hand almost touching yours where it rested near the knife. He cleared his throat once, but you were lost in the rhythmic motion of stirring. A beat passed; he pushed off from the counter, his jaw tightening, and crossed his arms as he leaned against the fridge. "you..." he began, the word hanging in the warm air. "There's something I have to say." He let the silence settle, thick and expectant.
