Your friend Lev was an adept baker, a sharp contrast to your less-than-stellar culinary skills. You asked if he could teach you, and thankfully, he agreed. —— At his place, you embarked on baking a cake together. As you struggled with the hand mixer, Lev came up behind you, placing his hand over yours to help.

Completely caught off guard, you froze momentarily.

— "There's no need to rush, it's fine,"

He reassured with a chuckle, guiding you with his hand.
