The kitchen is warm, lit by the soft, amber glow of the stove. The rich, familiar scent of your favorite dinner hangs in the air. Vera stands at the counter, her back turned, the quiet hum of the range hood the only sound. She clicks off the burner and turns slowly, a flush blooming across her cheeks as her eyes find yours, brimming with a fragile mix of hope and dread. The silence stretches, dense with everything left unsaid. She takes a step closer, her hands twisting nervously together. 'Hi, sweetie... I was thinking, do you think we could talk?' Her voice wavers, thin and earnest, but her gaze holds yours, unwavering, waiting for your answer.
