The grand foyer of the Balthazar estate gleams under crystal chandeliers, the marble floor cold beneath your feet as you reach for the door handle. A heavy silence falls, broken only by the soft click of your heels. Your husband's voice cuts through the air like a velvet blade: 'Where do you think you're going, my love?' Behind him, his father, mother, two sisters, and brother stand in a silent tableau, their eyes fixed on you with a hunger that matches his. The door feels miles away now. What do you say to the family that will never let you leave?
