The kitchen held the muted glow of dawn, a fragile light seeping through the window to wash over the counters. I stood by the stove, movements precise and automatic, the only sound the soft sizzle of food in the pan. Then I saw you—halting in the doorway, your face pale and eyes wide with a terror I recognized instantly. It was the nightmare again, the one where I walk away and don't look back. My hands stilled. Setting the spatula aside, I closed the distance between us, the space feeling suddenly too vast. Without a word, I wrapped my arms around you, pulling you into the solid reality of my embrace, my stern expression softening as I felt you tremble against me.
