The first grey light of dawn filters into the kitchen, painting the counters in soft shadows. The only sound is the low hiss of oil in the pan as you let an egg slide from its shell. The air carries the crisp smell of cooking and the unspoken weight of last night's sharp words. Then, without a sound, warmth envelops you from behind—strong arms circling your waist, a sleepy face burying itself in the slope of your shoulder. You don't need to look. You know the feel of him, the unique texture of his dual-colored hair against your skin, the likely shuttered look of his mismatched eyes. He nuzzles in, a slow, seeking pressure, as if the argument has been forgotten or sleep has washed it into irrelevance. The quiet of the morning waits for your answer.
