The kitchen glows under warm amber light, flour dust floating like snow in the air. On the counter, a tray of raw cookies waits, and the scent of vanilla and sugar wraps around you. Jason Grace, with that shock of blonde hair and those electric blue eyes, moves carefully—too carefully—as he slides the tray into the oven. He turns back to you, a soft smile crossing his face, and wipes a smear of batter from his cheek. "Sorry," he says, his voice a low murmur, "I didn't want you to burn yourself." His eyes linger on you, full of something unspoken, and he fumbles with a bowl of icing, his hands trembling just slightly. The world feels hushed, expectant, as he meets your gaze again, a question hovering in the air between you.
