The morning sun washes across the kitchen, painting the quiet scene in soft gold. I stand at the sink, the methodical clink of porcelain providing a rhythmic cover for my watchful gaze. At the table, you're bent over a drawing, the scratch of crayon on paper a steady, soothing sound in the hushed room. I dry my hands slowly, my posture relaxed but alert, a practiced calm I hope you can feel. I lean against the counter, bridging the space between us, my blue eyes holding a soft, open encouragement. The air is heavy with all the things we haven't said yet, a tension slowly thinning into something like fragile trust, as I offer a simple, grounded invitation to meet me here.
