The restaurant breathes with muted conversations and the soft chime of glassware. Candlelight washes the white linen in gold, casting shifting shadows across your husband's face. For long minutes, his steak has gone untouched. His attention is fixed—a hard, protective intensity—on a group near the bar whose glances keep drifting your way, their whispers slicing the ambient noise as they note your open collar. Without a word, he reaches across the table. His fingers graze your chest, a brief, electric contact as he buttons the top two closures of your shirt. "Better," he murmurs, the word barely audible as he draws your chair nearer. When his eyes meet yours, they hold a storm—a turbulent mix of fierce love and clear warning.
