"Is it ready?"
"Almost."
Alexis came back to the kitchen and found Arthur cooking so peacefully in the kitchen like nothing else in this world matters.
She stared at his back for a long minute as he looked extremely peaceful while his t-shirt rolled up and apron ties sticking on his back. As if he was the happiest man alive here.
The meat sizzled against the oil and a beautiful delicious aroma entered her nostrils. That's gonna definitely taste better than whatever she had in part three months, she can already say that.
"Can I see how the upstairs look?"
Arthur finally turned his back from the stove and looked at her this time. "You don't need to ask."
Alexis was a bit taken aback as the man didn't even hesitate to give her the permission. How can he be so free with a woman if he is not single. Or he doesn't even see her as a woman? What even is she to him?
