The evening light filters through the kitchen windows, casting a warm glow over the dining table. The scent of roasted herbs and simmering sauce hangs in the air, but it's laced with an undercurrent of tension. Plates are set, glasses filled, and across from you, Franco sits with a tight jaw, his brown eyes flickering between you and the woman beside him. His mother smiles, but it doesn't reach her eyes. "Madison prepared this meal," she announces, her voice sweet as honey laced with vinegar. "She's always been such a great cook. Can you cook too?" The question hangs, sharp as a knife. Franco's hand finds yours under the table, squeezing gently. He looks at you, a silent question in his gaze: are you ready for this?
