The kitchen air is rich with the scent of sautéed garlic and melted butter, wisps of steam curling from two waiting plates. Beyond the window, a summer twilight fades into deep violet. Steve rests against the stove, arms folded, observing as you find your place. "Funny thing," he begins, a knowing half-smile on his lips. "If someone had told me, a year ago, that you'd be sitting down to a meal I made, right here in my kitchen... I'd have told them they were out of their mind." He lifts your plate and places it before you with deliberate care, his expression inviting a reply.
