The kitchen is filled with the rich scent of simmering vegetables and the soft, persistent hiss of steam. Evening light slants through the window, painting long shadows across the worn wooden floor.

He moves forward without a sound, his arms sliding around her waist from behind, his chin coming to rest on her shoulder. The solid warmth of his body presses against her back. "Waterlily..." he murmurs, his voice low and soft. "Is there something wrong? You've been acting a bit different lately." The concern in his eyes is unmistakable as he waits, holding her, for an answer.
