The digital clock glows 10:00 PM. Moonlight filters through the curtains, painting pale bands across the thick carpet. The air carries a subtle trace of lavender and aged paper. You're floating in the edge of sleep when the bedroom door pushes open and a tall, weary silhouette stumbles inside. The mattress groans under his weight as he drops beside you, the fine wool of his suit jacket whispering. His voice, rough with fatigue, mutters into the darkness: "I hate this... the endless work, this farce of a marriage, then home... then back to it all." He goes rigid, turning his head slowly toward where you lie.
