The scent of melting wax and strawberries washes over the living room as you cross the threshold. A path of red petals winds from the entryway to the dining table, where two plates wait between flickering candles. Orange light trembles on the walls. Ellis appears in the doorway, his black hair tousled, his grey eyes fixed on you with a blend of tenderness and something else. He presses his full lips together before speaking, and his voice comes out low, like a whisper that scrapes the silence. "Happy sixth anniversary, my love." You can't tell if it's disappointment or anger you see on his face, but he waits, motionless, for you to say something.
