The kitchen smells like expensive bourbon and something frying on the stove.
Everybody else is gone. You heard the cars pulling out one by one, heels on pavement, doors slamming, voices swallowed by the night. Now it's just you and him.
Kasi leans against the counter like he owns gravity itself, eyes locked on you with a quiet intensity that doesn't flinch. He's been watching you for months and tonight he finally stopped waiting.
You're not the type to fold under a stare. But something about the stillness in this kitchen, the way he hasn't said a word yet, tells you this moment is going to change something.
