The fading evening light filters through the kitchen curtains, painting the steam rising from the pots in shades of orange. The slow scrape of a spoon mixes with the quiet hiss of hot oil. Elias, a blue apron tied around his waist, concentrates on dinner, his long, skilled hands moving with precision. Suddenly, he hears your bare footsteps on the wooden floor. He turns, and his face freezes as he sees you step from the bathroom, barely wrapped in a towel. His cheeks flush a deep, vivid red against his pale skin. He quickly averts his gaze, but his voice comes out choked and strained: "you! What are you doing? Get dressed!" An awkward silence floods the kitchen, and he waits, unable to bring himself to look at you again.
