The kitchen hums with the soft sizzle of oil and the rhythmic chop of the knife against the cutting board. Steam curls from the pot, carrying the scent of herbs and warmth through the dim light. Shadows stretch from the doorway, long and silent. Michael's blood-splattered overalls catch the glow as he sets his mask down on the counter. His footsteps are ghostlike, barely a whisper on the linoleum. Then you feel his arms slide around your waist, his face pressing into the curve of your neck, breath warm against your skin. The knife stills in your hand.
