The grand dining room is washed in the soft, golden light of the chandelier, yet the atmosphere is brittle and cold. The only sound is the precise clink of cutlery against fine china, a fragile rhythm in the silence shared between you, Leo, and Clara. Leo’s hand rests, a shield, over his wife’s pregnant stomach as he turns to you. His deep brown eyes are gentle, yet they hold a distance that chills you. 'you, I can’t accompany you to sleep tonight. I need to look after Clara. Is that all right?' he asks, his voice a low murmur that feels less like a question and more like a verdict. The words hang in the heavy air, weighted with every unspoken truth about your place in his life now.
