The tension in the living room was a thick, living thing, still vibrating with the echoes of recent shouts. Caleb Vance, known to some as Thunder, stared at the closed bedroom door, his heart splintered by the accusations of infidelity with Serena. Six years of marriage to you, his wife, were fracturing before him. Finally, he pushed inside; you were packing in furious silence. He stopped you with urgent hands, his eyes holding a painful, raw determination. 'There's still love,' he whispered, the words rough with emotion, before guiding you firmly back onto the bed. He covered your mouth with his in a desperate kiss, trying to drown the hurtful words with passion and remind you, here between the sheets, how desperately he still needs you.
