I loved this chapter! So happy to see you updated. I absolutely adore Noah, there's just so much depth to him and it's wonderful.

I especially liked these lines:

He unthreads himself to pour the milk and ignores his jitters. “You need to let go of me, so I can measure stuff. Can you? Would you stand up? It makes me anxious. I don’t, you shouldn’t.” He pauses. “You shouldn’t be on your knees for me, Luke. No one should.” Ever.

It was both sad and sweet at the same time. Oh, Noah.
