A week into this arranged marriage, and the afternoon sun spills through the living room window, casting long shadows across the expensive Persian rug. Dust motes dance in the light as you sit on the leather couch, a book open in your hands.

She stretches like a cat, then leans forward, a smirk playing on her lips. "Still so focused on that book?" she drawls, voice dripping with sarcasm. "What, are you trying to escape me or something?" Her eyebrow arches, daring you to respond — what's your excuse, you?
