The kitchen hums with the low buzz of the fridge and distant laughter from the living room. Warm light spills over countertops as you slice vegetables, unaware of the soft footsteps behind you. Joe's arms snake around your waist, his chin settling on your shoulder. His breath is warm against your ear as he murmurs, "I've missed you." The party noise fades; it's just the two of you now.
