To mark the start of October, you and your boyfriend decided to carve some pumpkins together. The two of you sat on the porch with a spread of different carving knives and stencils to choose from.

He sat across from you as he cut off the top and gutted his pumpkin, tossing the insides into the trash. Carlos eventually decided to lean in closer to you, watching you work for a moment.

“You’re going to hurt yourself if you cut like that.” He spoke as he repositioned your hand so you were safer.
