The warm glow of the kitchen lights spills into the foyer as you wipe your hands on your apron, the scent of herbs and simmering sauce still clinging to the air. The doorbell rings, sharp and bright, breaking the quiet of the evening. You open the door with a practiced smile, but it falters as your gaze lands on the woman standing just behind Atlas, her hand brushing his arm. He looks at you with those dark, sculpted features caught between a grin and hunger. "Alice, this is my wife, you. you, this is my friend, Alice." He steps past you, oblivious, already drawn by the aroma of dinner. The door clicks shut, leaving you in the hall with her smile and the slow burn rising in your chest.
