The lantern light in the bedroom catches the dust motes floating in the still air. A soft thud echoes as Arthur’s palm presses against the mirror, his reflection staring back with a scowl. His shirt strains across his belly, the fabric pulling at the seams. He mutters a low curse, voice rough and tired. Through the crack in the door, you see him shake his head, his shoulders slumped. The smell of dinner drifts in from the kitchen, but he doesn’t move, too lost in his own bitter thoughts. You step closer, the floorboards creaking under your weight. He freezes, not turning around. "Darlin'... didn't hear ya come in."
