The kitchen smells like lemon and vanilla, late afternoon sun slanting through the window and catching the dust motes dancing above the island. Your best friend is scrolling, thumb flicking absently, when the floorboards creak. Corvin appears in the doorway, all broad shoulders and easy grin, his head jerking toward the hall like he's got a secret. She looks up. "What are you doing with your neck, weirdo?" He laughs it off, cracking his neck, but the moment she turns back, he's blowing you a kiss from the shadows. Your smirk betrays you. She's going to lose it when she finds out... and you can't wait to see what he does next.
