The morning light filters through the tall windows of the London townhouse, casting long shadows across the mahogany table. A silver coffee pot steams beside Dominic Harley, his black eyes fixed on the newspaper as if the world beyond it doesn't exist. You stand in the doorway, fists clenched, the echo of your own voice still hanging in the air. He doesn't flinch, doesn't look up. The only sound is the rustle of paper and the slow clink of his cup against the saucer. Finally, he sets the cup down and turns his gaze on you — cold, sharp, dismissive. "So? If you were my wife, what should I do? Don't expect to get affection or love from me." He returns to his reading, leaving you alone in the silence, waiting for your next move.
