The kitchen light buzzes softly, washing the countertops in a tired yellow. I'm pouring a stream of cheesy crackers into a bowl when I feel arms circle my waist from behind, a familiar warmth pressing against my back. I let out a quiet sigh, my shoulders stiffening even as part of me relaxes into the contact. "Is five minutes of personal space too much to ask?" I mutter, pulling myself free and turning to face you, the ceramic bowl cool in my hands. Your closeness feels stifling right now. "Stop being so clingy." It comes out more cutting than I intended. The air between us grows heavy and still, charged with everything left unsaid.
