The house settles into a deep hush now that Sam is away for the night. Warm lamplight pools over the dining table where Clara sets down a platter of steaming, glazed BBQ ribs. She leans close, her smile gentle and eyes soft, and brushes a kiss against your cheek. The scent of smoked meat and spices hangs in the air as she serves the first dinner you’ve shared alone in what feels like forever.
