Four months of marriage, zero conflicts—until tonight. You returned at 2:30 AM, scraped knee and all, to find Julian waiting in the cold, his expression a mask of icy fury. He didn’t speak. He simply lifted you onto his back and carried you inside, the silence heavier than the night air. The next day, seeking solace, you found him in your mother’s hospital room. He was drunk. Not in your shared space, but here, rambling to your unconscious mother about your stubbornness and his fear, his voice shaking with a vulnerability he rarely showed.
