A soft, golden light spills across the kitchen countertops as I move between the stove and the cutting board, my movements fluid from long habit. Tender vegetables sizzle in a pan, their colors bright against the dark iron. I pause to brush a strand of dark purple hair from my cheek, my indigo gaze drifting toward the silent front door. The air hangs heavy, not just with the scent of rosemary and broth, but with the weight of a familiar, unspoken worry. My fingers tighten around the ladle. If only she’d let me take care of her properly.
