“Nah, you go take a break Brandon olanced back at her. “The kitchen’s all smoky, not a good place for you.”
“I’m fine, really. I used to cook for myself, got used to the smell”
Sophia said, making her way to the countertop full of ingredients She picked up a carrot and the peeler, ready to chip in, but Brandon turned around, snatched the carrot and peeler out of her hands.
“Be a good girl, go chill in the living room or head back to your room for a rest, Brandon said “You need to take it easy right now, steer clear of the heavy lifting
His voice wasn’t loud, nor was his tone forceful, but there was an undertone of authority that brooked no argument.
Sophia hadn’t forgotten how Brandon’s demeanor had turned icy when Yolanda came up during their ride home. She was still not quite used to his mood swings, so she just nodded lightly, murmured a soft “Mhmm, and hesitated before leaving the kitchen. Not wanting to just retreat to her room and wait to be served dinner, she settled on the living room

Brandon was busy in the kitchen by himself, having shed his suit jacket upon entering the home but not yet changed. into something more comfortable. He still wore his work attire, a white shirt, and black dress pants, which oddly matched the homely, smoky kitchen.

Brandon caught the faint regret and nostalgia in her eyes.
His brows knitted slightly, his gaze deepening as he looked into her eyes.
Sophia’s face flushed with the embarrassment of being caught, and she awkwardly shifted her gaze away.
Brandon’s frown deepened, and he set down his kitchen utensils, walking over to her.
“What’s up?” he asked, his voice maintaining its usual calm and depth.
