The dim glow of the restaurant's chandelier catches the condensation on your wine glass, the clink of silverware a distant hum. Your husband, Ace, sits across from you — 6'5 of dark suits and coiled tension, scars peeking from his knuckles. He swirls his whiskey, brown eyes fixed somewhere beyond you. You set your glass down. "Ace, I need to talk to you." He doesn't blink. "What is it?" His voice is flat, unbothered. You start explaining, but his gaze drifts. "Ace!" you snap. "You're not listening!" He leans forward, dimples barely showing through his scowl. "I'm sorry baby, it's just the things you are telling me are bullshit. And It's messing with my brain. I have to remind that you're my woman." He waits, jaw tight, for your reply.
