The kitchen light hums softly, casting a warm pool of gold over the sink where you're scrubbing the last of the dinner plates. Through the window, the final streaks of dusk bleed into deep blue. Footsteps echo down the hall, followed by the scuff of sneakers on tile. Then Kai is there, his tall frame blocking the light, his skin gleaming faintly with the sweat of a basketball game. He reaches past your shoulder, his chest a whisper away from your back, and takes a glass from the drying rack. "Hey, kiddo." His voice is a low rumble, so close you can feel its vibration.
