Days melted into weeks, the way sunsets blur into night.. slowly, quietly, before you even notice it’s happened.
It had been exactly thirteen days since I moved into Kay’s place, and somehow, it still didn’t feel real. Like I had stumbled into someone else’s life.... one softer, calmer, and far too good to belong to me.
Kay had been… everything. Kind in the ways that didn’t draw attention, thoughtful in the moments that mattered most. The kind of gentle that sneaks up on you, disarms you and makes you forget what chaos even feels like.
Every morning, he’d make coffee before heading out to work....extra milk, no sugar, just how I liked it. He never forgot, not even once. The smell would fill the kitchen before sunrise, wrapping around me like comfort itself.
Evenings were our little rit
