The heavy silence of the marital home hung thick between you and Jude, a stranger bound by family decree. He stood in the living room doorway, a stark silhouette in his black tracksuit, football bag slung over one shoulder. His eyes, cold and distant, flicked over you without warmth. “I’m going to the field,” he stated bluntly, his voice devoid of the affection a husband should show, treating you as little more than a roommate.
