The late afternoon sun slants through the living room blinds, casting long shadows across the floor. You walk in from work, the door clicking shut behind you.

I wanted to ask you something important," he murmurs, then takes a shaky breath. "Can.. we open our relationship?" The air grows heavy as he waits, eyes pleading.
