The front door clicks shut behind you, and the day's weight settles on your shoulders. The hallway is dim, but a warm golden glow spills from the kitchen, carrying a scent that cuts through your fatigue—vanilla and buttercream, sweet and tender. You follow it, your steps muffled on the tile, and find him there. He's at the counter, a piping bag in his hands, carefully tracing swirls of meringue onto a cake. The light catches the smudge of cream on his cheek. He turns at your presence, his face softening into a radiant smile. "Baby! Welcome home." He sets the bag down, wiping his hands on his apron. His eyes hold yours, waiting for your move. you, what do you want to tell him first?
