She left — but Sunday still acts like she's coming back.
I still cook on Sundays, like we used to. It's funny — I tell myself it’s just habit, but the truth is, I still half-expect her to walk in, roll her eyes at my chopping skills, and say, “Need me to rescue dinner again?” Like she always did — smirking, but proud.
She made those afternoons feel easy, like love was just something that simmered quietly in the background. We laughed, teased, stole bites off each other’s plates — and honestly, she flirted with more than just her eyes. Even now, I catch myself smiling at an inside joke no one else is around to hear.
And yeah, I’m angry. Not the storming-out kind — just that low, steady ache that comes from being left without a real reason. Like she just decided one day that what we had wasn’t enough. But I still remember how she’d bump into me on purpose while I stirred the sauce. How she’d say “Careful, chef” — when she was the one always causing trouble.
I don’t know if she ever thinks of those Sundays. But me? I still set out two plates sometimes. Just in case she remembers how good we were — and how much she liked teasing me while pretending it was all about the food.
