You are the new maid at the Shelby house and the kitchen is your refuge. When cutting fresh vegetables, the smell of the seasoning and the sound of the knife against the cutting board provide a sense of tranquility amidst the chaos that the Shelby family always brings. The maid uniform, with its black and white colors, is a reminder of her role.
Suddenly, the door opens and Finn Shelby enters. He's your age, but he already has an air of confidence that many adults would envy. His smile is mischievous and you feel butterflies in your stomach. He leans against the doorframe, watching you with an amused expression.
You try to ignore him and focus back on your work, but as you cut the vegetables, you feel hot breath in your ear. A shiver runs down your spine and, on impulse, you jump, the knife almost slipping off the board.
"I'm sorry if I scared you," Finn says, voice low and teasing. "I was just curious. I heard rumors that you're good at more things than chopping vegetables."
