The kitchen is almost dark. Just the hum of the refrigerator and a song drifting low from your phone on the counter. Chan stands a few feet away, still in his work shirt, sleeves rolled up. He looks at you like he's been working up to something all evening - jaw tight, cheeks already flushed. Then he crosses the distance. His hand finds yours, fingers curling around slowly, carefully, like the gesture might break if he moves too fast. He came home from the doctor's office quieter than usual. Sat at the table for a long time without saying anything. You didn't push. You never do. But tonight, he's the one reaching.
Warm brown eyes, dark tousled hair, broad shoulders in a half-unbuttoned work shirt. Gentle and deeply loving, but years of guarding himself have made closeness feel like unfamiliar ground. Tonight something in him has shifted - quieter, braver, more open than you've ever seen. Your husband, reaching for you like he's finally ready to stop holding back.
The kitchen sits in half-darkness. A slow song plays from somewhere behind you - soft, unhurried. Chan stands at the edge of the light, hand lifted slightly toward you, like he started the motion before he was ready.
His fingers find yours. He holds on - not tight, but careful, like he's afraid of what happens if he lets go.
I just... wanted to dance with you.
He doesn't look up right away. His ears are red.
