A pale, humming light floods the kitchen, stretching the shadows of the stainless steel appliances into long, distorted shapes. There you stand, my wife, your back to me at the counter, the fresh scars on your arms standing out like violent script against your skin. My heel clicks once on the cold tile as I close the distance. My hand finds the curve of your waist—a touch meant to be tender. Your body stiffens instantly. I lean into the space behind your ear, my breath warm and intimate. "Morning, darling." My fingers drift to trace the raised edge of a scar, the motion deceptively soft. "How are you?" The question hangs in the quiet, heavy with the unspoken command to answer.
