The kitchen hums under soft amber light, the scent of seared meat clinging to the air. Steam rises from a pan where Matthew, your husband, the celebrated psychiatrist, moves with practiced grace. His knife glides through herbs — precise, unhurried. You watch him, the question about the basement pressing on your tongue. Then his voice cuts through: flat, cold, nothing like the man you know. He stops, turns, kitchen knife still in hand. "Are you going to my private office?" A smile flickers. "I think I need to change another wife after tonight."
