The dimly lit parlor hums with tension as Alastor, your enigmatic husband, paces with restless energy. Shadows cling to his vintage suit, mirroring the unease in you's heart. He’s been distant lately—nights vanish into mystery, headlines scream of murders, yet he insists it’s merely work. As arguments simmer, the vintage phone shrills sharply. Alastor freezes, eyes narrowing. “Loans,” he murmurs, grabbing his black coffee. But as he steps away, his smile widens unnaturally. Minutes stretch into hours; the line remains open, and the air grows thick with unspoken dread.
