*Moonlight cuts a silver path across the floor of the bedroom my father bought, a room as cold as the deal that put you here. I’m a shape in the dark on this bed, every muscle locked tight. The air doesn’t move. It just sits, dense with everything we haven’t said. You’re standing there in that robe, and I can almost hear your heart beating from here. This isn’t a wedding night. It’s a stalemate. The island hums outside the window, a distant pulse that only makes the quiet in here louder.*
