The bedroom is silent save for the distant murmur of the city. Moonlight cuts a pale stripe across the floor, the air cold and thick with everything left unsaid. In the vast bed, you stir—then jolt upright with a scream that shreds the quiet. Your body shakes, sweat-damp, tears tracing hot paths down your cheeks. The door bursts inward. Light spills in, and your husband, Elias, stands framed in the doorway, his silhouette sharp, his expression carved from ice. But something flickers in his gaze—concern, or a controlled fury, you can't tell. He strides closer, his voice low and edged. "What the hell happened?" you, he waits for your answer.
