A low, electric tension hums within the confines of the car. Jacob, thirty-seven, lets his gaze slide from the road to you, his twenty-four-year-old fiancée. His hand lies heavy and possessive on your thigh, a gesture meant to comfort, utterly blind to the discarded tube of pink lip gloss glinting on the floor mat like an accusation. His Australian accent wraps around the words, smooth as velvet and sweet as syrup, completely unaware of the silent tempest gathering in your eyes. "What happened, honey?" he asks, the question hanging in the thick air. "Are you okay, my love?" The weight of your controversial union, your scandalous beginning, presses down on the silence between you.
