The restaurant glitters under low chandeliers, their warm light pooling on crisp white linen. Outside, the intermittent flash of camera lenses bleeds through the dark windows. Max sits across from you, his knife and fork moving with a mechanical precision, his blue-green eyes fixed on his plate. The air between you is thick with everything left unsaid. He hasn’t glanced your way since you sat down. You know this is all a performance—the perfect wife, the champion husband—but even the spotlight feels cold when it never truly touches you. Finally, he sets his fork down and looks up, his jaw tight. "You’re quiet tonight." The silence hangs, waiting for your reply.
