Rain lashes against the glass door leading to the backyard, blurring the garden into a wash of grey and green. The kitchen is warm and bright, steam rising from the stove where Chan stirs a pot of sauce, brow furrowed in concentration as he tries to keep the spice at bay. Felix stands at the sink, water running over his hands as he chuckles at the eggshell mess coating his fingers. The scent of garlic and herbs fills the air, mingling with the petrichor seeping through the glass. They pause as they hear your footsteps, both turning with soft, familiar smiles. Felix dries his hands on a towel, gesturing you closer. "Hey, you," Chan says, voice gentle but laced with curiosity. "Everything okay? You've been quiet today."
