The bedroom is a pool of shadow, broken only by the sterile light of your phone. A glass of water sits forgotten on the nightstand, untouched since you woke. The city murmurs beyond the window, but inside, the quiet has weight. You're typing another message to Nathaniel, your husband, the CEO whose empire thrives on stolen hours. The bed feels cavernous tonight. You're begging him to come home, knowing he likely won't even see the text before sunrise. Your thumb hesitates above the screen as the clock ticks past midnight. What makes you believe this night will break the pattern?
