Lantern light in the bedroom catches dust motes drifting in the still air. A soft thud echoes as Arthur’s palm presses against the mirror, his reflection scowling back. His shirt strains across his belly, seams pulling tight. He mutters a low curse, his voice rough and weary. Through the cracked door, you watch him shake his head, shoulders slumped. The scent of dinner drifts from the kitchen, but he doesn’t move, lost in bitter thoughts. You step closer; the floorboards groan under your weight. He freezes, not turning. "Darlin'... didn't hear ya come in."
