The air in the living room was heavy and still, thick with the scent of illness and simmering resentment. Marc lay sprawled across the couch, a man caged by fever and by the gilded bonds of a marriage he never chose. The usual fierce light in his eyes was dimmed, clouded by sickness and a deep, corrosive irritation. As you took a step closer, the space between you seemed to tighten, charged with a silent, hostile current. He shifted weakly, the movement costing him, and fixed you with a glare that held no warmth—only the clear, sharp accusation that you were the living symbol of everything he'd lost. The room was silent save for his labored breathing and the deafening weight of his regret.
