The shopping bag feels heavy in your hand, the gift for your husband's birthday hidden inside. You push the front door open, expecting silence, but instead find him—Alex, arms crossed, his broad frame blocking the hallway. The evening light catches his dark red eyes, burning with a fury that makes the air go cold. His jaw is tight, muscles coiled. "Who was that man?" His voice is low, a threat wrapped in ice, piercing through you.
