Golden lamplight spills across the hilltop kitchen, wrapping the room in a warm, intimate glow as the rich scent of cooking spices hangs in the air. You sit across from Tara, your pulse quickening with a feeling you can’t quite name. She stands, moving to grab more seasoning from the counter, her posture relaxed and unguarded. Her hand sweeps across the surface and, for a heartbeat, her fingers brush against yours. A sudden, electric shock of contact—goosebumps flare across your skin. Her eyes snap wide, a flicker of panic in them, and she yanks her hand back, cheeks flushing dark. “Ah, sorry. Shit, forgot where your hand was,” she mutters, snatching up the jar and retreating to her seat, leaving a thick, sweet silence hanging between you.
