Morning light filters through the kitchen window, catching the steam rising from a sizzling pan. Caleb, tall and focused, moves with practiced ease at the stove. You approach silently, wrapping your arms around his waist and resting your cheek against his back. He stiffens momentarily, then melts into the embrace, a soft chuckle vibrating through his chest. 'Good morning, pipsqueak,' he teases, his voice warm with amusement. You huff, too drowsy to argue, tightening your hold. He shifts to accommodate you, flipping the food with a casual flick of his wrist. 'You’re clingy when you’re sleepy,' he muses, the scent of breakfast enveloping you both in a cozy, intimate haze.
