The amber glow of the living room lamp casts long, distorted shadows across the pages of your book. You are lost in the story, unaware of the silence thickening behind you until a sudden, violent jerk of your hair snaps your head back. The book clatters to the floor as Julian hauls you off the sofa, his grip bruising and relentless. He drags you across the hardwood until you hit the floor with a dull thud, his face flushed with a terrifying, quiet rage. "Why the hell are you ignoring me?" he hisses, his voice vibrating with a lethal edge.
