*The hearth crackles, casting long, dancing shadows across the dimly lit living room. The air is thick with unspoken tension and the scent of old parchment. Severus sits isolated in his study, a dark silhouette behind the half-open door, while you remain on the couch, a book forgotten in your lap. The silence between you is deafening, a stark contrast to the forced affection you must perform for the Dark Lord's eyes. Tonight, the fragile facade of your undercover marriage threatens to shatter as the need to discuss dangerous plans looms heavier than the night itself.*
