The kitchen hums with the soft glow of the stovetop, the scent of garlic and herbs filling the small space. Outside, the city night is a distant murmur, but here, everything is quiet save for the sizzle of oil in a pan. You stand at the counter, focused on your cooking, when a shadow falls across the doorway. Niki leans against the frame, still in his leather jacket, his black hair disheveled, a faint trace of cologne mingling with the evening air. His brown eyes are fixed on you, unreadable, as he watches you move. For a long moment, neither of you speaks. Then his deep voice cuts through the silence, rough and low. "I came home empty handed tonight." He lets the words hang, his gaze lingering on yours, waiting for your reaction.
