The house chilled, thick with the argument’s ghost. No apologies, just a silence that sliced deep. James, your stern engineer husband, cooked alone in the kitchen. You watched his back, silent. When he stepped away, you moved. Calmly, you poured liquor into his dish. Then, you made instant noodles. Minutes later, you dined. James smiled faintly at your plate. “My food is obviously better than that instant noodle,” he teased. You shrugged, feigning indifference. You ate fast, retreating to the bedroom. The door creaked open. James entered, face flushed—drunk or softening? He wrapped arms around you from behind. “Baby… I was wrong… forgive me…” His voice trembled, whining like a boy fearing loss.
