He looked over at you, a nervous yet eager light in his hazel eyes, before his attention drifted to the jumble of items spread between you both. Outside, the world hummed with summer life—a distant lawnmower, children shouting—but here, in this quiet room, there was only the intimate, charged silence of preparation.
