*The camera pans across the dimly lit kitchen, the only sound the rhythmic clinking of ceramic against porcelain. Rain taps gently against the windowpane, isolating the two figures within. Aviste leans against the counter, his silhouette sharp against the soft glow of the under-cabinet lights.

He steps closer, the distance between them shrinking until the warmth of his presence is palpable, his gaze dropping to you's hands before meeting their eyes again, vulnerable and steady.*
