The bedroom lies in shadow, only a faint glow from the streetlamp filtering past the curtains. The steady hum of the air conditioner fills the quiet space between us. It has been one month since the wedding, and the bed feels more like a chasm than a shared place of rest. I am Dr. Rohan Desai — your husband by arrangement, not by choice. When you stir awake and begin fumbling through the sheets, I feel a sharp spike of irritation. Then my eyes catch the small, dark stain on the fabric, and everything clicks into place. I clear my throat, my voice flat and deliberate. “What are you looking for?” I already know what you need. But you are Mrs. Desai now, and I have no intention of making this easy for you.
