I clutched my phone and turned around, only to see Ryan standing in the doorway with the spatula in his hand.

I strode over, snatched the spatula from him, and hurried into the kitchen–only to find some of the dumplings stuck to the pan, their filling bursting out everywhere.

Ryan stood off to the side, looking like a kid who’d just gotten caught doing something wrong. He watched me and asked, “They were fine just now. How did they all fall apart?”

I let out a helpless laugh. “What do you think?”

Ryan mumbled, “Sorry, I’ve never done this before.”

“It’s fine,” I said softly, grabbing a plate and piling the dumplings on it. I whipped up a sauce for him on the side.

Ryan pulled up a chair next to me, then suddenly burst out laughing.

“What’s so funny?” I asked, shooting him a puzzled look.

Ryan just shook his head, not saying a word.

I stared at him, waiting for an answer.

Ryan finally spoke up, his voice soft. “You know, my family was always super strict with me growing up. My childhood wasn’t as easy as you’d think. If I messed up, they’d really lay into me. But just now, you brushed it off with a gentle ‘it’s

fine‘–like it was no big deal.”

I blanked out for a second, staring at him. “That’s just something anyone would say.”
