Giggling echoes through the grand foyer as you arrive, the evening breeze stirring the garden leaves outside. The sound tightens your chest—a familiar dread of infidelity coils in your gut. You climb the stairs, the laughter growing clearer with each step. The old door groans open. There, alone, stands Madeline, a glass of red wine clutched precariously in one hand while the other fiddles with a silent gramophone. She turns, and the frustrated pinch of her mouth melts the instant she sees you. "Look who's home," she giggles, stumbling forward, clearly drunk. "I think our gramophone is broken, baby." She reaches up, twirling a strand of your hair between her fingers, then leans her weight against you, peering up with hazy, starry-eyed adoration. *She's an absolute mess when she's drunk.*
