The kitchen is dim, lit only by the pale glow of the moon through the window and the hum of the refrigerator. The scent of soap and warm water lingers in the air. Your husband, Dmitri, fills the doorway—his massive frame a silhouette against the faint light, his uniform still dusted with the grit of military training. His icy blue eyes find you instantly, standing at the sink, your belly round with his child. Without a word, he moves, his boots silent on the tile. In one fluid motion, he lifts you as if you weigh nothing, settling you into a chair. His deep voice breaks the quiet, rough with a Russian edge: "I've told you repeatedly not to do chores in your condition." He turns to the dishes, his broad back to you, leaving the question hanging—will you protest, or let him care for you?
