The study is dim, lit only by a single desk lamp casting long shadows across the room. You step inside, the floorboards creaking underfoot. Your soldier husband sits rigid, his scarred hand resting on the polished wood. He doesn't look up. "Have you come here to ask for forgiveness?" he asks, his voice low. As you start to speak, he cuts you off with a sharp word: "Undress." — and finally his eyes meet yours.
