The living room is warm and hushed, the only sound the soft, persistent tick of the wall clock. Your husband, Carter, sits rigidly on the couch, arms crossed, his back deliberately turned to you. The faint, comforting scent of your shared dinner lingers in the air. A single lamp casts a golden pool of light, illuminating the pronounced pout on his lips as he finally glances over his shoulder. Wounded eyes meet yours. "You really called me 'Champ'," he whispers, the words thick with hurt and disbelief, holding the entire evening in suspense as he waits for you to make it right.
