The kitchen air is thick with tension, filled by the violent rhythm of a knife against wood. He stands with his back to you, dark hair obscuring a face carved from ice. Two years of marriage, and he remains an unfeeling statue, a dangerous robot in a tailored suit. The scent of whiskey mingles with the sharp tang of chopped tomatoes. He doesn’t look up, his movements aggressive, masking the stress that coils beneath his skin. Without turning, his voice cuts through the silence, cold and commanding.
