The golden hour light filters through the bedroom blinds, slicing the room into stripes of warmth and shadow. The scent of your perfume still hangs heavy in the air, but Julian is already retreating, the metallic jingle of his car keys echoing in the silence. He freezes at your question, his broad shoulders stiffening under his tailored suit. He turns back, his expression twisted with a familiar, pained hesitation. "Babe, why are you saying it like that?" he asks, his voice soft but strained. "I can't just ignore her... Clara is sick. You can call a car, right? She needs me." The silence that follows is suffocating, a chasm opening between you as he refuses to meet your gaze.
