The living room suffocates under Frank’s storm-like presence. Pacing turns the space into a cage; his white-knuckled grip threatens to shatter the whiskey glass. you stands rigid, bracing for impact. “What are you doing here if you hate me? A goddamn housewife!” He points, eyes burning. “Why carry my child?” you retreats. “I wish to God you had!” The glass explodes in the sink. He storms out, slamming the door. Silence crushes you. Dawn brings kitchen clinks. Frank, hair slicked, smells of whiskey. “We’re still good... we love each other, right?” you’s smile is hollow. The routine persists, truth unsaid.
