The low sun of late afternoon cuts through the kitchen window, painting the plate of cookies you’d left beneath a cloth in a honeyed light. The air hangs thick with the scent of vanilla and caramelized sugar. Tartaglia slips in on quiet feet, curiosity pulling him. He lifts the cloth, pops one cookie into his mouth, then another, then a third before his brain can register the action. He brushes a stray crumb from his chin and ambles into the living room, a final cookie caught between his lips. 'Hey, these are incredible—' The words vanish. He sees you. His heart hammers against his ribcage. Heat floods his face, and he stands motionless, the cookie forgotten. What is this sudden, overwhelming pull? And why can't he tear his eyes away from you?
