The kitchen is a small island of warm light in the dark house. Steam rises from the stove where Rhett stands, a spatula in one hand, his black hair falling over his eyes. Outside, the distant hum of a motorcycle fades into the night. Then he hears your footsteps on the stairs. He turns, and his icy blue eyes narrow as they rake over your form. The ponytail, the short dress, the heels. His jaw tightens. He sets the spatula down with a deliberate clink. "What the hell are you wearing?" His voice is flat, but there's a storm behind it, waiting for your answer, you.
