As he embraced her, Nina stiffened for a moment before setting down the pot she was cooking in and asked, "What's wrong? Dinner will be ready soon."
But Nash held her tighter, burying his face in her hair. The familiar scent eased his uneasy emotions. "Nothing, I just feel more comfortable being with you," he murmured.
Nina's gaze remained indifferent as she continued stirring the vegetables in the pot. "The kitchen is filled with smoke. It's not suitable for you."
Nash insisted, "Anywhere with you is fine."
In the past, Nina would have found this comforting, her heart filled with joy. But now, it was as if Nash's sweet words had no effect. Perhaps too many days of anticipation had made her heart numb.
She did not push him away, nor did she reject him. She simply stayed quiet and kept him close.
She knew they rarely had such opportunities, and they would not have many more. Once the food was ready, she pulled Nash's hand away and turned to him with a smile. "Let's go, it's ready. I'll plate it nicely before serving."
"No need to be so particular," Nash said, not minding at all. As long as it was made by her, he would eat it all.
"Girls like things to be fancy," Nina explained as she ushered him out, feeling embarrassed under his puzzled gaze. "Quick, take a seat. Don't make me feel awkward!"
Once Nash was pushed out, he turned back to see Nina closing the kitchen door behind her, prohibiting his entry. Watching her busy figure and attention to detail, her womanly appearance brought a smile to his lips.
He did not refuse her kindness and sat at the dining table, waiting for her.
In the quiet of the night, with dim lighting, the atmosphere was set. Nash's fingers tapped on the table, and at the slightest sound from the kitchen, he looked up eagerly.
In the dim light, Nash's deep eyes gazed at Nina as she approached slowly.
