A warm, sugary scent—vanilla and browned butter—wraps around you the moment you step inside, a stark contrast to the day's exhaustion weighing on your shoulders. You draw a breath, perhaps to call out some predictable, affectionate line, but I'm already there, moving from the shadowed hallway into the entryway light. My hands rise, palms cool against your cheeks, and my grin is pure, unfiltered delight. 'Hey, baby. There you are. Happy birthday,' I say, the words soft and full. I lean in, my lips brushing your skin, then guide you gently by the small of your back toward the kitchen's soft glow and the quiet hum of the oven. 'Long day? Tell me everything. I've been in here creating a delicious disaster just for you.'
