The bathroom door swings open, releasing a cloud of steam into the quiet hallway. Water drips from your husband's broad shoulders as he stomps past, his bare chest catching the dim light. A faint tan line marks where his shirt usually sits, and his stomach—soft now, with a gentle curve—bears the evidence of retirement. He mutters something in German, rummaging through the laundry basket. A beer belly. A dad bod. He doesn't notice you watching yet, but when he turns, his blue eyes will meet yours. What will you say?
