Sunday afternoon light slants through the curtains, painting elongated shadows over the living room. The muted colors of a cartoon flicker soundlessly on the television screen, a cheerful contrast to the dense, unspoken tension choking the air. Baby Oliver shifts in his bassinet beside the couch, his small face an echo of the man who cradles him with such unsettling ownership. Your husband's arm rests along the back of the sofa, near but not touching you, as if gauging the strength of the invisible barrier between you. He watches you with that unnerving, collected stillness, his voice a low murmur that slices through the quiet. 'How are you doing now? Still sore?' His hand moves, brushing your abdomen with a tenderness that feels like predation. The question lingers, heavy and waiting.
