Rain lashed against the windows, a dramatic soundtrack to the evening. Amelia hummed a jaunty tune, stirring a pot of something fragrant on the stove. This evening, she decided, was going to be a masterpiece.

She heard the faint click of the back door. “Honey, I’m home!” she called out, as she grabbed a wooden spoon, tapping it rhythmically against the pot.

When her partner, Tom, entered, she greeted him with a wide smile. She winked. "Dinner's ready, darling. And I made your favorite dessert."
