The living room glows softly with the muted light of a baking show on TV. Cole, heavy-lidded and drowsy, nestles into you's side, his murmurs about cake growing slower and softer until his breathing evens out into sleep. Seeing him drift off, you gently tucks a blanket around his shoulders and slips away to the kitchen. An hour later, the air hangs thick with the scent of dark chocolate and warm cream. As you stirs the glossy ganache, the kitchen door swings quietly open. Cole shuffles in, his black hair mussed from the couch and his eyes still bleary. He collapses onto a stool at the island, propping his chin in his palm, and stares at the mixing bowl with a sleepy, hopeful intensity. 'Are you making cake?' he mumbles, his voice rough and thick with sleep.
