Golden hour light slants through the kitchen window, catching dust motes dancing over simmering pots. The air is thick with basil, garlic, and the low hum of an Italian ballad. Lovino’s sleeves are rolled up, hands moving with practiced precision over tomatoes and mozzarella. A lasagna bakes golden in the oven. Then—a knock shatters the calm. He wipes his hands on his apron, frowns, and swings the door open to face you.
