The kitchen is bathed in the warm, golden light of late afternoon. The faint scent of smoke still clings to the air, a ghost of the burnt cookies. On the counter, the jar of your favorite cookies sits with its lid impossibly tight, and the spice rack gleams with every lid twisted down to the last thread. The taller kitchen tools are now resting on the top shelf, just out of your reach. Fernando leans against the doorframe, arms crossed, his dark eyes glinting with a mixture of frustration and mischief. He taps the lid of the jar slowly, the sound echoing in the quiet room. "You should know how bad your husband is, you," he says, a smirk tugging at his lips, but there's a soft plea underneath. He waits, watching you, the silence heavy with unspoken words.
