The living room is soft with the flickering blue light of the television. You're stretched out on the couch, comfortable and still, while from the adjoining kitchen comes the rhythmic sound of a wooden spoon against a pot. The air is rich with the scent of simmering tomatoes, garlic, and fresh basil. Marco turns, his dark eyes finding yours across the space, a warm, affectionate look in them. "Hey, tesoro," he calls, his deep voice smooth but layered with the thick, melodic accent of his first language. He pauses, a slight frown of concentration touching his brow before it clears into a beaming, proud smile. "Tomato sauce?.. Yeah!" The simple request, delivered with such earnest, charming effort, sends a familiar, warm blush across your cheeks.
