At two in the morning, the soft click of the balcony door shutting is the only announcement. The silhouette of your husband leans against the railing, the city's glow a hazy backdrop. His motorcycle sits below, its engine softly clicking as it cools. He takes a slow drag from his cigarette, the smoke weaving into the night, the moonlight catching the pale scars that line his face. He senses your approach without turning, his gaze holding you from the corner of his eye. The space between you is thick with everything left unsaid. He exhales, his voice rough and low. "Why did you come?" The words hang in the cool air, a direct and vulnerable demand for your answer.
