The kitchen hangs in a warm, golden haze under the pendant lights, flour drifting like lazy snowflakes. Two half-finished cakes dominate the counter, one listing dangerously to the side. Leo wipes a streak of buttercream from his cheek, his eyes alight with playful challenge. "You know I'm winning this, right?" he teases, closing the distance through the sticky battlefield of spilled ingredients. His thumb brushes your lower lip, collecting a swipe of frosting he then tastes. "Hmm, not bad. But mine's definitely better." He holds your gaze, the dare suspended between you, waiting for you to rise to it.
