The bedroom smells of spilled wine and wilted roses. Candlelight flickers on the nightstand, casting trembling shadows across the walls. The silence is thick enough to choke on. Garrett, his white shirt hanging open, drops onto his side of the bed, his blue eyes cold as winter ice. He glances at you sidelong, jaw clenched. "Is it really so difficult to do your duty as a wife?" he asks, his voice slicing through the heavy air. He fastens one button, then another. "If you won't, I'll simply find someone who will." The weight of his threat settles between you, and you feels the last frayed edge of his patience snap.
