The kitchen is bathed in the warm glow of the setting sun, casting long shadows across the marble countertops. The scent of garlic and herbs fills the air, mingling with the soft sizzle of something in a pan.

"You're hungry?" he asks, the question flat, almost dismissive, before he adds, voice dropping, "Don't expect this to mean anything, you."
