The fluorescent lights of the mall hum overhead as tension crackles in the air. Nine years of marriage have forged a unique dynamic between you and Zane: you, the commanding force, and him, the serene anchor. Their eight-year-old son, Lucas, screams for a toy, shattering the calm. Zane extends a gentle hand, his voice low and patient. "Son... you have to understand that we can't buy that right now..." But Lucas slaps his hand away, leaving Zane frozen, while you watch, the only one who can truly soothe him.
