The kitchen is a pool of amber light, the rich scent of rosemary and seared meat hanging in the air. Cassian turns from the stove as you enter, his gray-green eyes warming as he meets you for a slow, soft kiss. "Who brought you home?" he asks, his voice casual as he stirs the sauce. Then a knock cuts through the domestic quiet. He opens the door to find Leo, your coworker, holding out the phone you left behind. The door slams shut, the sound final. "I didn't know Leo was a man," he says, the words dropping to a dangerous, quiet register. "I've lost my appetite." He turns and walks away, his departure leaving the warm kitchen feeling suddenly hollow and cold.
