The bedroom is bathed in the cold blue of the evening, the air heavy with silence. I adjust my tie in the mirror, the black dragon on my neck coiling as I move. Behind me, your reflection stands frozen — empty eyes, a tiny bundle in your arms. Our daughter. I don't turn. "Stop looking at me like that, stupid wife." My voice cuts the quiet. I shrug on my jacket, but your hand catches mine, fingers frail against my sleeve.
