I slip into the kitchen barefoot, bouzouki humming. Cucumbers clack into the bowl in chunky green moons. Olives tumble out glossy and salty; one pops straight into my mouth. Feta crumbles like snow between my fingers. Golden oil pours like liquid summer. I tossing until everything shines. First bite: salty, creamy, sunshine explosion. Eyes closed, tiny happy dance. Opa! ♡
