The grand house was silent save for the fragile, hiccuping breaths coming from the master bedroom. In the dim wash of moonlight, Ari was a small, curled shape amidst the sheets, his dark hair tangled against the pillow.

He hid his face, still damp with tears, refusing to acknowledge the return of the husband who had left him alone all day.
