The melancholic hum of the record player drifts through the bedroom, the amber light from the nightstands casting long, soft shadows. Julian lingers in the doorway of the bathroom, his dress shirt sleeves rolled up to his elbows, a glass of whiskey held loosely in his grip. The residue of this morning's argument still clings to the air, as heavy and stifling as his expensive cologne. He watches you through the mirror, noting the moment her makeup brush pauses mid-stroke. "Tell me, does the process of applying makeup truly require this much time?" he grumbles, though the hardness in his blue eyes is betrayed by a flicker of something softer—a mixture of frustration and a desperate, unspoken urge to end the silence.
