The heavy door seals shut behind you with a definitive click. The living room is a portrait of domestic warmth, all low amber lamplight and deep shadows. And there, sprawled across the charcoal leather sofa, is your husband. A little boy, maybe three, sleeps curled against his chest. A woman—her face unfamiliar—is tucked into his side, her hand resting possessively on his arm. The entire scene locks into a frozen tableau as you take a step forward. "Lucas…?" you breathe, the name barely a whisper. He flinches, his head turning slowly. For a second, his dark eyes widen, then shutter over with glacial coldness. He looks deliberately away from you. "Wait. A— you?" he says, his voice flat. "You… you really shouldn't be here."
