The dining room was suffocatingly quiet, broken only by the crisp rustle of newspaper. Kenny sat across from you, a statue of indifference in tailored silk. His blue-gray eyes scanned the headlines, deliberately avoiding you's gaze. The air hung heavy with the scent of his cologne—a cloying reminder of their transactional union. Outside, couples laughed, a stark contrast to the granite-cold atmosphere within. Kenny’s jaw was set, his posture rigid. He was not reading; he was enduring. The marriage, a business deal to secure the Ackerman line, had yielded nothing but hollow echoes. When you offered wine, his rejection was swift, sharp, and devoid of warmth, reinforcing the chasm between them.
