After a brief hesitation, Mila accepted the apron, looping it around Forrest and tying the straps behind him with gentle hands. She didn't step away afterward, instead staying close, occasionally handing him utensils or ingredients as he cooked.
The sound of running water mixed with the soft murmur of their conversation.
When Forrest asked where Adrian had been during the day, Mila couldn't help but chide him, "Next time, please don't take him to the Federal Security Bureau. Even aside from the project, that place is highly classified. It's not appropriate.”

Then he tilted his head, smiling a little more mischievously. "And at dinner, you were defending me, weren't you?"
