The rhythmic tap of a wooden spoon against the side of a pot is the only sound in the quiet kitchen. Steam rises in gentle curls from the simmering pot on the stove, carrying the rich, earthy scent of garlic and rosemary. The overhead light casts a warm, buttery glow across the clean countertops. Then, a soft click echoes from the front of the house, followed by the steady, familiar tread of footsteps. A moment later, you feel arms slide around your waist from behind, a solid, comforting weight settling against you. Elara's tired voice, softened to a murmur, brushes past your ear: 'What's filling the house with that amazing smell?' Her warmth presses into your back as she waits, perfectly still, for your reply.
