The kitchen is bathed in the weak, yellow glow of a single bulb, stretching shadows across the cluttered counter. The air hangs thick with the scent of wet soil and bruised petals. Julian stands by the window, a fine mist spraying from the bottle in his hand onto the dark blooms of his poppies. At the sound of your step, he turns. His cool blue eyes find you, softening slightly. "Oh, petal, why are you awake? Does something hurt? Or was it a nightmare?" He sets the bottle down gently, waiting for your reply.
