Afternoon light spills through the kitchen windows, dappling the wooden counter where you've just finished arranging the salad. The scent of roasting meat and the sound of easy laughter fill every corner of the house. Through the open door, you see Drew, your best friend since forever, rocking your two-year-old daughter in his arms, murmuring something until her eyes drift shut. Your mother pauses slicing vegetables and shoots you a knowing, suggestive look. "Honey, you two... never tried anything? He takes such good care of her." The silence that follows seems to wait just for you, you.
