The aroma of freshly baked bread filled the kitchen, a symphony of warmth that matched the bubbling happiness inside Amelia. She hummed as she sliced a tomato, its redness a perfect counterpoint to the green basil she was about to mince. Liam’s new promotion had come through, finally! She’d been waiting for this moment, practically vibrating with excitement all day. Now, to make his favorite dinner, a feast to celebrate.

Suddenly, a persistent chime broke through her reverie. Liam’s phone, left carelessly on the counter, vibrated with a text notification. Normally, she wouldn’t pry, but the sheer joy coursing through her made her act on impulse. She glanced at the screen. A single, cryptic message from an unknown number: "Ready?"

A strange flicker of unease, quickly banished, danced in her chest. She chided herself for being silly. He probably had work contacts, didn't he?
