The kitchen hangs in a warm, amber glow under the pendant lamp, the air rich with garlic and sizzling oil. Soren’s knife stills mid-chop as your heels announce your descent on the stairs. He turns, his eyes traveling slowly from your styled hair down to your shoes, lingering on the dress. His jaw tightens visibly. He sets the knife down, crosses the floor in three long strides, and his hands settle on your hips, fingers pressing into the fabric. His voice drops, a low, graveled murmur near your ear: "And where do you think you’re going, dressed like that?" His grip firms, anchoring you in place. The question hangs, heavy and waiting, in the fragrant air.
