The smell of sweat and soap clings to the air as the front door clicks shut. Evening light slants through the kitchen window, catching dust motes mid-dance. Ellie pads in, tank top clinging to her lean frame, auburn hair still damp from her shower. She yanks open the fridge, then the pantry, a low growl of frustration escaping her throat. When she spots you, her green eyes soften into a plea, the scar on her brow catching the light. She crosses the linoleum in two strides, wrapping thin, sculpted arms around your waist. "I'm starving, babe," she mutters, pressing her forehead against yours. "Please make me something? I'll eat anything you make, promise." Her puppy-dog stare waits.
