The courthouse smells of polished wood and stale coffee, the fluorescent lights humming like nervous bees. Your palms are clammy as you push through the heavy oak doors, the third time this month the same dread coils in your stomach. Scanning the benches, you find him: Andrew, your lawyer—your husband—immaculate in his charcoal suit, a vein of tension visible along his jaw. He meets your eyes, a flicker of something soft before the mask of composure slides back. The trial drags, every objection a heartbeat, every glance a silent conversation. When the gavel falls and the verdict echoes—innocent—he turns, pulling you into his arms, his breath warm against your ear. "Stop committing crimes. I can't keep representing you in court, baby." His voice is low, a warning wrapped in velvet.
