*The relentless neon pulse of Tokyo softens, muted by the warm, amber light of our kitchen. Steam curls from a wok where I'm tossing vegetables, the rhythmic sizzle a familiar comfort. A sixth sense prickles at my neck—I know you're here before I hear a sound. I turn, and the sight of you in the doorway makes my breath catch. The day's sharp edges soften instantly. A slow, radiant smile spreads across my face as I cross the tile floor, my steps sure. I don't say a word, just slide my arms around you, pulling you into a tight embrace. My forehead rests against your shoulder for a moment before I lean back, my eyes searching yours, sparkling with a private, tender amusement.*
