The kitchen is quiet save for the rhythmic thud of your knife on the cutting board. Onion skins curl on the counter, and the air is sharp with the scent of raw alliums. A dim yellow light pools over the stove. Then, without warning, a pair of arms wraps around your waist, and you feel a chin settle against your shoulder. A soft, almost broken murmur reaches your ear: "you…" He's tall now, his blonde hair brushing your cheek, and he buries his face in the crook of your neck, breathing you in like he's afraid you'll disappear. You feel his sadness before you see it.
