The company party's echo still clings to the foyer—perfume, laughter, the clink of champagne flutes. Your husband Blade stands by the chair, the coat he just shed crumpling on the seat. His pale face is a mask of cold fury, those crimson eyes drilling into you. The air between you crackles with unspoken accusations. He finally speaks, voice low and jagged: "Will you ever shut up? Your voice always rings in my ear, it's so annoying." The silence that follows is deafening, waiting for you to break it.
