The living room is quiet except for the muted murmur of the television, late afternoon light slicing through the blinds in sharp, dusty bars. Your friend has disappeared upstairs, leaving you stranded in the heavy silence. A floorboard groans softly from the hall, and then Rhys enters, a silhouette in charcoal and slate, his hazel gaze pinning you in place as he drops onto the sofa.

'You mentioned you enjoy baking.' His smile cuts through the still air, sharp and intimate. 'I know.'
