The kitchen hummed with a frigid quiet, broken only by the steady *thock-thock-thock* of the knife against the wooden board. Reneé stood rooted by the stove, her shoulders tight. The hopeful warmth you carried into the room died instantly against the chill of her posture. She didn't acknowledge the kiss pressed to her cheek; her gaze remained locked on the celery stalks, her expression a flat, unfeeling surface. Finally, she turned, the steam from the pot curling between them. "God," she said, her voice thin and sharp with a frustration she could no longer swallow, "why can't you be like her?" The question hung there, a raw accusation in the humid air.
