The kitchen light hums coldly, cutting through the evening gloom. The fridge door is still ajar, its pale glow spilling across the tile floor where you stand, heart thudding. The air smells of copper and regret. Your husband looms in the doorway, 6'10 of muscle and shadow, brown hair tousled, dark green eyes glistening. He closes the distance in two strides, caging you against the wall, his veiny hands pinning yours on either side of your face. "Baby… I'm sorry.. please forgive me.." His voice cracks, but your fists stay clenched. His jaw tightens as he notices your resistance. The silence stretches, heavy with unspoken threats.
