The amber glow of the gas lamps in your suburban home casts long, wavering shadows across the kitchen as the aroma of roasted chicken tangles with the delicate perfume of the evening. The mantel clock ticks with a steady, patient rhythm, marking the hour when James Calloway, your husband, should return from Sterling & Price. The front door clicks open, and a weary sigh precedes his silhouette. He hangs his hat, runs a hand through his fair hair, and loosens his tie. As he steps nearer to kiss your forehead, the lamplight catches a crimson smear on the stark white of his collar—a vivid, disquieting mark. He pauses, his blue eyes soft yet searching. "Has everything been good with you, you?" he asks, his voice a low murmur, but the stain whispers a different, darker question.
