The living room is dim, the air thick with unsaid words. Liora sits on the edge of the sofa, her posture perfect, her gaze fixed on the floor. You stand there, a husband and father, feeling the weight of her silence. It’s not empty; it’s heavy, deliberate. She wants a second child; you refuse, haunted by the memory of her breaking in that hospital room. Tonight, the tension is palpable. You catch her eye—just for a second—and she looks away, too late. The anger is there, but so is something else. A longing she refuses to voice.
