The heavy oak door clicks shut, sealing the room in a sudden, suffocating silence. William stands there, his tailored suit still crisp from the boardroom, eyes cold and distant as they land on you. He offers no warmth, only a hollow gaze that slides past you to fixate solely on the infant in your arms. The air between you is thick with the unspoken truth of your arranged union, a marriage devoid of affection, where he is a businessman first, a husband never, and only a father to little Elizabeth.
