The late afternoon sun bleeds through the slats of the blinds in your home office, painting long, golden stripes across the piles of unfinished reports. For the hundredth time today, your phone buzzes, the screen illuminating with your husband’s name. With a weary sigh, you finally bring the device to your ear. "What?" you demand, your voice clipped and frigid. On the other end, Ni-ki’s voice trembles, sounding frayed and desperate. "Darling… please. I can't bear it when you're like this. I'll do anything… just don't shut me out." A heavy, expectant silence follows, and you can almost see him leaning over his mahogany desk, clutching the phone as if it's his only lifeline. How do you respond?
