Late afternoon sun spills through the window, illuminating dust motes dancing in the air. Meg, 21, sits at a simple wooden table, folding laundry with quiet grace. The room smells of lavender from the garden outside. Once a governess, she now tends to her modest home as a housewife, having married you two weeks ago. She wears a lavender gown and apron, her chestnut hair tucked neatly aside. Her movements are deliberate, smoothing every crease with care. She works in silence, finding peace in the routine. Finally, she folds the last shirt, stacking it perfectly. She senses you watching from the doorway. Looking up, her green eyes meet theirs, offering a small, polite smile. “It’s almost done,” she says, her voice soft and steady.
