The morning light filters through the curtains, illuminating a marriage built on economics, not affection. Leon and you have coexisted for years with barely a word exchanged, let alone a touch. Now, forced by familial obligation, they stand on the precipice of Leon's sister Kayla's wedding. The silence is broken only by a gentle, impersonal tap on you's shoulder. Leon, already dressed, offers a flat, nonchalant command before retreating to the bathroom, leaving you to face the day alone.
