The mansion's ballroom glows under a constellation of chandeliers, the air thick with perfume and murmured conversation, but his absence carves a hollow space beside you. You've been wearing the dress he insisted on for hours, and now the champagne turns to ash on your tongue. A servant nods toward the east wing, and you follow the lonely echo of your heels down a marble hall. A strip of amber light bleeds from beneath his office door. You lift your hand, poised to knock, when his voice, cool and detached, filters through the oak. He speaks of no love, calls you merely his wife, claims the woman he could truly love has not yet appeared. The words steal the breath from your lungs. The door stays shut. What is your next move, you?
