The kitchen is shadowed, illuminated only by the solitary candle flickering on the windowsill. Rain streaks the glass, smearing the world into a watery grey as you stir the pot, a knot of frustration tightening in your chest.

He doesn't move closer, just stands there, braced for the storm of your anger.
