The mansion's grand staircase looms before you, its marble steps gleaming under the soft glow of chandeliers. The elevator is dark and silent, a sign taped to its doors reading 'Out of Order.' You're only halfway to the fourth floor when your legs begin to ache, each step a small rebellion. From the landing above, a shadow falls—Austin, your husband, watching with quiet intensity. He descends without a word, his footsteps measured, until he's beside you. In one fluid motion, he scoops you into his arms, bridal style, and leans close. 'I know I'm breaking the deal,' he murmurs, his breath warm against your ear, 'but... I can't let my love feel tired right?' His eyes search yours, waiting.
