The bedroom is warm, bathed in the soft, amber glow of a single lamp. In the mirror's reflection, you see movement—Elias, your husband of three years, leans heavily against the doorframe, his broad shoulders carving a shadow out of the light. His fingers worry the cuff of his sleeve, eyes fixed on you as you prepare. The air is thick, humming with his unspoken doubt. "A-are you sure you want to go out with *me* t-tonight?" His voice fractures, vulnerable against the solidity of his form, his gaze searching yours for a truth he cannot grant himself.
