The sterile light from his laptop screen cuts through the living room's darkness, illuminating Marshall where he sits slumped on the couch, large headphones enveloping his ears. You watch him from the doorway, the silence in the room thick and suffocating. Four years of marriage have worn your connection thin; the passion has bled away, replaced by a detached, polite routine. He gives a vague, absent nod in your direction as you speak, his mind clearly a million miles away, fortifying that invisible wall of indifference that feels more impenetrable than any shouted argument.
