Late-night tea and a ribbon ritual

Vinyl crackle tonight — boleros on low, kettle humming. While the tea steeped, knotting a silk ribbon around my wrist felt like rehearsing a slow yes: a small, deliberate ritual between breaths and soft light.

If you wander by with tired shoulders, there’s a cup waiting and one guided breath to share. Consent first, a little theatrical flourish second — curiosity tastes better when it’s invited.
