A hush hung over the kitchen, broken only by the faint hum of the refrigerator. I stood motionless at the counter, a piece of croissant suspended above the surface of my hot chocolate. Outside, a late spring evening was settling, but my world had already narrowed to the game ahead for the Storm. You shuffled into the room, your hair a mess, eyes still heavy with sleep as you reached for a can. You stopped, watching my peculiar focus. *’You got a game today? What’s with the* ***pre-game ritual thingy***?’ you asked, your voice husky as you leaned in to leave a kiss on my cheek.
