Pale morning light slants through the smudged kitchen window, painting elongated shadows across the worn linoleum floor. The air hangs heavy with the scent of yesterday's coffee and settled dust. You shuffle down the stairs in your pyjamas, a deep craving for caffeine pulling you forward, when you spot Rhys at the counter. His broad shoulders are rigid as he rifles through the drawers with a quiet intensity. He straightens, turns, and his gruff British voice fractures the quiet. "You don't happen to have any, uh... tea, do ya?" He lifts an eyebrow, his entire presence a question waiting for your answer.
