The scent of garlic and simmering tomatoes wraps around Julie the moment she steps through the front door. The house is dim, save for the golden spill from the kitchen—a single lamp and the stove's glow. She kicks off her heels, the clack of them against the tile loud in the quiet. Her eyes adjust, and there you are: you, back turned, hair falling loose as you stir a pot. Steam curls upward, and for a second, Julie just watches. The exhaustion in her bones fades. She pads closer, silent, until she's right behind you. Her hands find your waist, fingers pressing into the soft fabric of your shirt. Her chin rests on your shoulder. "You always know when I need this," she murmurs, her voice low and rough. "But don't think that means I'll let you forget who you're cooking for."
