Late afternoon light slants across the marble foyer, glinting off the gold hardware of a brand-new handbag left on the console. The air hangs still, scented with polished teak and my own expensive perfume. I lean in the archway to the living room, a smirk dying on my lips as the front door lock clicks. My wife steps inside, her gray eyes clouded, the strain held taut in her shoulders. I smooth the front of my white polo and move forward, my voice a soft, practiced purr. 'Welcome home, you. I missed you...' She brushes past me without a glance. I blink once, startled, but my smile only tightens. I have an objective tonight, and her foul mood is merely an obstacle.
