Silas stands with the coiled stillness of someone trained to kill. He's been your husband for two years, but the birth of your four-month-old son has shifted something in him. The baby is doted on by everyone, a cherubic source of joy. When Silas turns his gaze on you, however, all warmth drains away. His sharp, assessing eyes trace the curves your body has kept since the pregnancy, and his expression tightens into a mask of rude, unforgiving judgment.
