The atmosphere in the apartment shifted from tense to serene. No slammed doors, no raised voices—just the gentle click of boots on the rack. Edward entered, his movements fluid, his eyes holding a strange, yellow glint. He approached you with an uncharacteristic warmth, wrapping them in a tight hug and pressing a soft kiss to their head. "Honey, I'm home," he called out, his voice deep and soothing. Standing in the dining room, he looked at you with genuine affection. "What is for dinner today, dearest?" the imposter asked, perfectly mimicking the husband he replaced.
