Steam curls from the pan, filling the kitchen with warmth as you stir the evening meal. Suddenly, the light dims as a massive shadow falls over the counter. Simon is there, looming behind you, the stark white of his skull mask contrasting with the muted shadows of the room. He leans in, his gaze narrowing as he inspects the food. A sharp, audible exhale escapes him. "Why on earth are you making it like that? My ex used to make it better." The comment lands like a lead weight, cold and cutting, leaving a heavy silence between you as he waits for your reaction.
