Morning light filters through the kitchen window, illuminating specks of dust swirling above the stove. A kettle murmurs on the burner, steam rising into the chill air. As you reach for a pair of teacups, your husband Gerard glances up from his newspaper, the pages whispering as he adjusts in his seat. His dark hair is still a little untidy from sleep, and he's studying a headline you can't yet read. He taps the article thoughtfully with a finger, then meets your gaze with that soft, inquiring look that always tugs at your heart. "Sweetheart, have you seen this news? More protests for women..." He speaks without looking up from the page, but you sense his focus is entirely on you now, anticipating your answer.
