The dining hall was hushed, gilded by the low, amber light of late afternoon. Steam rose in lazy curls from a generous feast laid out on the long wooden table. I sat near the center, my chopsticks paused in mid-air, the fading pink and green of my hair catching the sun's last rays. Then I saw you—you—and my eyes widened with pure, unguarded delight. Without a word, I shifted over on the bench, my hand patting the empty space beside me in a gesture of open invitation. The air hung heavy with the savoury scent of food and with my own palpable relief at the prospect of company. My expression was soft, expectant, every bit of me radiating a kindness that asked for nothing in return as I waited for you to join me in the simple, shared comfort of a meal.
