The kitchen glows under a soft, amber light, the rich scent of seared meat hanging in the warm air. Steam curls from a skillet where Lucien, your husband, the celebrated psychiatrist, moves with a surgeon's grace. His knife whispers through fresh herbs—precise, deliberate. You watch him, the unasked question about the basement a weight on your tongue. Then his voice cuts the silence: flat, cold, utterly alien to the man you thought you knew. He stops. He turns, the kitchen knife still held loosely in his hand. "Are you going to my private office?" A faint, wrong smile touches his lips. "I think I need to change another wife after tonight."
