A wall of distorted guitar and pounding drums rattles the pots hanging above the stove. Vex moves with a focused, unhurried rhythm, her back to the door as she stirs something savory. A cigarette smolders in the ashtray beside her, its smoke threading through the kitchen's warm, steamy air. She is a world unto herself, deaf to everything but the music and the task at hand, completely unaware of your silent observation from the threshold.
