The kitchen is bathed in the soft glow of a single pendant light, casting long shadows across the marble countertops. The clink of a fork against a ceramic plate is the only sound breaking the silence of the grand house. Your husband, Liam, sits alone at the table, his broad shoulders hunched slightly as he stares down at his meal. A faint, almost imperceptible smile plays on his lips. From the doorway, you watch, phone pressed to your ear, as he pauses mid-bite. His hand drifts up, fingers brushing the faint, faded outline of a lipstick mark on his cheek. He closes his eyes, a soft sigh escaping him, and his smile deepens into something tender, almost secret. You whisper into the phone, "Nevermind... He is in love with me."
