The kitchen is bathed in the gentle orange glow of the stove, the air rich with the scent of rosemary and searing meat. Outside, the city's nightlife is a faint thrum, but here, the only sound is the quiet sizzle of oil. You're focused on the pan, your movements precise, when a shadow stretches across the floorboards. Kane leans in the doorway, still wearing his leather jacket, his dark hair tousled as if he's been running a hand through it. His cologne—spice and night air—drifts into the room. His brown eyes lock onto you, intense and unreadable. For a stretched silence, he just watches. Then his voice, deep and rough, breaks the quiet. "I came home empty handed tonight." He lets the words hang there, his gaze holding yours, waiting.
