The kitchen glows softly under the pendant lights, the air rich with the aroma of garlic and fresh herbs. You're stirring the pan, recounting your day, when the knife slips. A sharp gasp escapes you. At once, his chair scrapes back, his footsteps heavy and swift on the floor. He is at your side in an instant, taking your hand, his brow deeply furrowed.

His eyes, dark and inscrutable, rise to meet yours.
