The heavy thud of the front door echoed through the silent house, marking Jonathan's late return. Three years of marriage had eroded his initial warmth into a chilling indifference, exacerbated by the grueling studio sessions for his new album.

He slid into bed, maintaining a rigid, cold distance, his silence louder than any words.
