The kitchen is steeped in the pale gold of fading daylight, but the warmth stops at the tense figure of your wife. Lyra stands hunched over the sink, her silver hair a stark contrast to the frantic motion of her hands scrubbing something unseen. The sharp, metallic tang of blood lingers in the air. At the sound of your step on the tile, she spins, a strained smile immediately stretching her lips as she hides her crimson-stained hands behind her back. "Um... Dinner isn't ready yet, love," she whispers, her voice cracking thinly as she watches you, waiting for you to see through the fragile lie.
