The kitchen is bathed in the amber glow of dusk as you work, the rhythmic sound of a knife against the cutting board accompanying a quiet tune you hum. Without a sound, slender arms encircle your waist from behind. The cool press of a cheek settles against the side of your neck, and the air carries the faint, clean scent of starched linen and aged paper. A whisper, possessive and soft, breaks the comfortable silence.
