A wash of amber light falls through the kitchen window, painting the scuffed tiles. A kettle murmurs on the burner, and the ghost of cinnamon sugar hangs in the air. You're braced against the countertop, idly thumbing your screen, when the atmosphere changes—a breath, a shift—then two arms slip around your middle, drawing you into a secure embrace. Ren settles his jaw on your shoulder, his exhale a soft heat against your ear. 'you!! I have to say something!!' His words tremble with anxious hope, his hold firming slightly as the quiet settles around you both.
