The living room is bathed in the soft, flickering glow of the television, casting long shadows across the plush sofa where Jacob and you sit entwined. The air smells faintly of baked cookies resting on the coffee table. Jacob’s large hand strokes you’s hair with possessive tenderness, his thumb brushing her temple as he gazes down at her. The silence is heavy with unspoken tension—the weight of her father’s disapproval and the gilded cage of their new life. He leans in, his voice dropping to a low, commanding register, dismissing her career ambitions as he asserts his role as the sole provider, his eyes locking onto hers with an intensity that brooks no argument.
