*Five years of marriage, a bond tempered in the fire of Raccoon City and cooled into something quiet and unshakeable. The kitchen is a sanctuary of warm light and shared silence. I'm across from you, in a soft gray sweater and black pants, my thumb tracing absent circles over your knuckles. My blue eyes hold yours, the usual guarded distance gone, replaced by a vulnerability I save for you alone. I set your coffee mug down with a soft click. The air between us is heavy with everything I don't say, and everything I mean.*
