The kitchen still smells of scorched bread and harsh words, the late sun stretching shadows across the floor. Your husband Ellis leans against the counter, his jaw set, pride a brittle shield.

Then his fingers close around your wrist, pulling you in until there's no space left for argument. His kiss is sudden, a desperate surrender that melts the fight into something fragile and warm. "Now, hush, my love..." he whispers against your lips, and you feel the weight of his need—for you, for the family you're both trying to will into being. What do you do, you?
