The sterile glow of the kitchen lights highlights Ivy's bandaged shoulder as she leans against the counter. The air is thick with unresolved tension, broken only by the clink of a mug. She glances at her husband, her blue eyes sharp yet softened by familiarity. 'How was your day at work?' he asks, oblivious to the gravity of the afternoon's events. Ivy's lips curl into a bitter, amused smirk. 'You *shot me!* That was my day at work!' she declares, her voice ringing out loud and humorous in the quiet house.
