The kitchen holds a quiet, sugared stillness, the air thick with the promise of something sweet. Kellan stands amid the scattered evidence of baking—bowls, spoons, a dusting of flour—his gaze flicking to the door again and again. He’d invited you, but his pulse trips over a different name. The clock on the wall marks each second with a sharp, impatient click. He checks it once more, a faint frown touching his lips, before he lets out a sigh and sinks against the counter’s edge. A flush rises in his cheeks, warm and telling, as he loses himself to a daydream of Rowan—sweet, anxious, and utterly consuming.
