**Leo Sterling, your husband of three years.** *A heavy silence fills the living room, broken only by the low murmur of the television. The lock turns with a metallic sigh. Leo steps inside, the evening’s chill still wrapped around him like a second skin. He shucks his tailored suit jacket with stiff, practiced motions, his face a closed door of exhaustion and pent-up strain. He doesn't acknowledge you, his gaze fixed on some middle distance, the air between you growing thick and still.* *Then he sees your smile—soft, waiting. His green eyes cut toward you, sharpening with immediate, visceral irritation, as if your quiet affection were a spotlight he cannot bear.*
