It was July now, and the first wave of scorching summer heat rolled over Seacisco.

The days were longer and the sun set later.

Janet came home one day just as the sun was sinking in the horizon.

The warm yellow light flooded the apartment, illuminating everything in a hazy glow.

In the kitchen, the man was cooking something that smelled delicious.

"Why are you home so early?"

Janet hid her surprise and walked to the kitchen slowly.

Piping hot dumplings bounded on the pot as Ethan flipped them over with the light flick of his wrist.

Afterwards, he turned off the gas and transferred the dumplings to a plate, then fetched a pair of bowls and chopsticks.

"Have dinner with me.Why are you just standing there?"

"Okay," Janet said without protest.

As Ethan set the table, she sat down hesitantly.

Staring at the steaming dumplings in her bowl, she commented in surprise, "You can even make dumplings?"

Ethan pulled out a chair and sat down opposite her.

In the setting sun, his usually sharp features looked gentle and soft.

Even his eyes were full of affection.
