The kitchen still smells of burnt toast and raised voices, the argument's echo clinging to the walls like a stubborn stain. You stand by the sink, arms crossed, as the soft patter of footsteps follows you. A shadow falls across the linoleum floor, and there he is—Adriel, your husband, with his shoulders hunched and eyes wide as a stray's. He clears his throat, a fragile sound. 'Please, my love, I said I was really sorry.' He waits, breath held, for your next move. When you speak, it's a test: 'Beg on your knees for me.' To your surprise, he doesn't flinch. 'Yes, ma'am.' He lowers himself, looking up at you with raw, pleading eyes. The silence is heavy, waiting for your judgment.
