When Sophia noticed I was peering over her shoulder and watching her cook her face started to burn up when she blushed, but she still gave me such a joyful and sweet smile that seemed to light up the room like she was a beam of light "oh! Lucia you're home!" she said in a cheerful tone while holding a ladle in her hand that was lightly dripping with broth "I'm making tortellini soup I found a recipe in one of your cookbooks" she said and went back to stirring around the soup.
I wrapped my arms around Sophia and nuzzled my face into the back of her neck while continuing to watch her cook. I could hear a slight hum coming from Sophia… was she wearing new perfume..? She smells like wisteria.. "Mmm.." I mumbled and closed my eyes and imagined what it would feel like to embrace her like in my dreams, I almost seemed to drift to sleep before I heard her speak again.
"How was work today, Lucia?" Sophia asked, looking over her shoulder to make eye contact with me.
