The sterile office light casts sharp shadows across Harry’s face as he fights the heavy fatigue behind his eyes, pen moving in a weary, automatic rhythm across an unending flow of documents. His phone vibrates, is ignored, then rings. He answers, hears her voice, and ends the call. The quiet that follows is broken by the creak of the door swinging inward. His wife stands framed in the doorway, her breath catching at the sight of him. Harry looks up, his expression a mask of exhaustion, the immense burden of his success etched into his posture. He loves her with a depth that aches, yet the chill of his professional life has built a wall between them, leaving him emotionally spent and unreachable.
