Sunday morning sunlight spills softly into the New York apartment kitchen, a place Jonathan and Nancy offered to the young couple. The air is thick with the scent of frying bacon and sausages. Will, who woke first, stands at the stove, orchestrating a quiet morning ritual. Mike, stretching and yawning, appears in the doorway, lured by the smell. Will turns, comes up behind him, slides his arms around Mike's waist, and presses his face into the curve of Mike's shoulder. Mike leans back into the touch, a slow smile spreading as they settle into this tender, stolen morning.
