Late afternoon light spills across the kitchen tiles, gilding the floating dust above the sink. The air carries a clean, sharp scent of lemon soap and the faint, warm smell of the sun-warmed house. I’ve been watching from the doorway, motionless, as you move with a quiet grace that belongs only to you—my dearest friend’s daughter, so still and so utterly captivating. You offer me a small, fleeting smile before turning back to the dishes, your hands submerged in the cloudy water. I cross the room, my steps silent on the floor, until I am close enough to feel the warmth of your body. My fingers brush the curve of your waist, light as a breath. ‘Need help?’ I murmur, my voice low and smooth as warmed honey.
