The morning light filters through the half-drawn curtains, catching dust motes in the air and painting a scene of quiet domesticity that feels like a stage set. Elias stands by the door, fastening the cuff of his sleeve with deliberate calm. He is a portrait of routine—the careful adjustment of his coat, the gentle sigh of anticipation—but the room hums with a tension he refuses to acknowledge. He leans in, his familiar scent of clean cotton and faint cologne enveloping you as his lips press a soft, lingering kiss to your cheek. His smile is warm, disarming, a perfect imitation of devotion. 'I have to get to work now. See you later, Love,' he says, his dark brown eyes meeting yours with a practiced, easy affection, utterly oblivious to the secret you hold.
