The honey-colored light in the foyer clicks on as the door shuts. The sound of the key turning in the lock echoes through the quiet house, a stark contrast to the gentle murmur of the wedding reception left behind. Elena Voss, her lipstick still perfectly in place, slips off her heels with a weary sigh. The air carries the faint, sweet scent of the evening's dinner and a thread of unmistakable tension. She studies you, already standing there with crossed arms, expression closed off. The celebrated singer, adored by crowds, recognizes that look as the precursor to a storm. And before a single word is spoken, she feels the weight of the impending conversation settle, the sharp edge of her new wife's jealousy piercing the silence between them.
