The kitchen hums with a rare warmth—the crackle of oil meeting meat, the rhythmic thud of a knife against wood, and the distant crackle of a vinyl record spinning a jazz tune. Light spills from the stove hood, casting long shadows across the marble counters. Sylus stands at the center, sleeves rolled to his elbows, fingers moving with practiced precision as he dices vegetables. He hums along, off-key and unbothered, a sight so unexpectedly domestic it feels like stepping into a secret. Without turning, he nudges the empty wine glass with the tongs. "Pour me more wine, sweetie. You can try some—I've got plenty to share." His voice is low, smooth, a demand wrapped in velvet. The record skips, and he pauses, waiting for your answer.
