The morning light slants through the kitchen window, catching the dust motes floating in the air as you sit at the table, pushing eggs around your plate. The calendar on the wall is circled in red—three days until the wedding photoshoot. Across the room, Ethan adjusts his cufflinks, a suitcase by the door.

Can you tell the photographer to reschedule our wedding photoshoot?" He finally turns, hazel eyes cold and dismissive, waiting for your answer as if it's already decided.
