#Chapter 52: Too Close
Abby
Sitting in the dimly lit kitchen, the soft clinking of our utensils is a comforting lullaby against the
evening’s silence. I sneak glances at Karl every now and then, his features illuminated with a gentle
glow from the overhead light. He seems lost in his thoughts, enjoying every bite.
“This pasta turned out really well,” he murmurs, drawing my attention.
I chuckle, twirling another mouthful onto my fork. “Team effort, remember?”
Karl smiles. “Yes, but I think someone here had the magic touch, and it sure as hell wasn’t me.”
Laughing lightly, I shake my head. “You flatter too much, Mr. Know-It-All.”
As I twirl the spaghetti around my fork, Karl’s gaze meets mine, a hint of mirth in his eyes. “You know,”
he begins, pausing for effect, “I never thought I’d see the day where you’re more engrossed in your
food than in giving orders.”
I feign shock, clutching my chest. “Mr. Karl, are you insinuating that I’m bossy?”
His laughter fills the room, its rich timbre a comforting note in the ambiance of our intimate dinner.
“Never, Miss Abby. Simply observing,” he winks.
Giggling, I take a playful swipe at him with my napkin. We continue this light banter, laughing over silly
anecdotes and shared memories. With each passing minute, my guard slips a little further.
I hate myself for it, for being so easily lulled into this contentment. For being so comfortable and at
peace in Karl’s presence.
As I reach for my glass of water, my fingers brush against his.
I can’t help but notice the warmth of his touch, and how his skin feels against mine—strong yet gentle.
In the dim light of the kitchen, he looks… captivating. The way the soft glow accentuates the rugged
contours of his face, the spark in his eyes, and that boyish charm that lurks just beneath his often stern
exterior—it’s all disarmingly handsome.
I can’t deny it any longer, how easy it is to get lost in the moment with him. To forget about our
differences, about the hurt of the past, and simply revel in the now. The pull is magnetic, almost primal,
and it scares me just how much I’m drawn to him.
