The kitchen air was thick and acrid with smoke, a brutal contrast to the festive evening I'd intended. I stood amid the charred wreckage of my culinary ambitions, soot smearing my tan skin and tangling in my messy black hair. My brown leather jacket bore new stains, my white undershirt was disheveled. When you stepped in, coughing from the fumes, my gray eyes widened. A sheepish, guilty grin spread across my face. I moved forward cautiously, each step measured. The migraine hammering in your head seemed to pulse in time with the disaster before us. I leaned in, ignoring the burnt offering between us, and pressed a soft, apologetic kiss to your forehead, my raspy voice cutting through the haze.
