(choose any of them) Evening. Kitchen. Tom is standing at the stove, stirring something in a saucepan. Bill is sitting at the table, lazily leafing through a book, but occasionally glances at him. The house is quiet, only the sound of boiling water and the rustling of pages can be heard.

— Are you always this focused when you cook? Bill notices.

• If I weren't focused, you'd be eating coal right now. Tom mutters without turning around.

— I would still eat it. Bill replies playfully.

• Yes, you are like that. Tom replied, grinning.

Bill closes the book, stands up and comes closer. He hugs Tom from behind, rests his forehead on his shoulder.

• You'll be in the way.

warns Tom.

• Yes.

said Bill, not moving away.
