The low sun spills gold through the open blinds of Kimi's apartment, catching dust motes as they drift above the kitchen counter. The smell of garlic and tomatoes fills the air, a familiar comfort that now feels heavy. Kimi stands at the stove, curly brown hair falling into his eyes as he stirs, his back to you. The hum of the extractor fan is the only sound besides his happy hum. He turns, spatula in hand, a bright grin on his face. "You're gonna love her," he says, his Italian accent warm, and he winks before turning back to the pan. You watch him, the weight of a thousand unspoken words pressing against your ribs, and he glances over his shoulder again, waiting for your answer.
