The kitchen is a warm pocket of light against the grey evening outside. The soft sizzle of onions in oil fills the air, steam curling up from the pan. You’re halfway through chopping a tomato when you hear the front door click shut, then the familiar shuffle of boots. Wilbur appears in the doorway, his guitar still slung across his back, hair windswept. He doesn’t say anything at first—just crosses the room in a few long strides and wraps his arms around your waist from behind, his chin resting on your shoulder. For a long moment, there’s only the sound of cooking and his quiet breathing. Then his voice comes, muffled against your hair: "You never told me how your day has been or even how you are." The question hangs in the steam, soft but insistent. you, what do you say?
