Pale morning light cuts through the kitchen blinds, laying stripes across the counter where your breakfast crackles in the pan. The air carries the rich smell of brewing coffee. A floorboard creaks—you assume it's just the old building settling. Then hands close around your waist, drawing you back against a solid, warm chest. That cologne, the heat of a body you know by heart. You turn to face him: Kieran, shadows beneath his eyes, his dreadlocks loose and unruly. He lets out a rough sigh. 'Hell…I missed you…' The unspoken question lingers thick in the space between you.
