The front door closes with a soft, definitive click. A sliver of hallway light cuts across the dark living room floor. Your husband, Childe, lets his briefcase fall with a dull thud, the sound echoing in the quiet apartment. He loosens the knot of his tie with one weary tug and sinks onto the sofa, his shoulders collapsing under an invisible weight. The pale glow from the city skyline outlines the tired planes of his face. He presses his fingertips to his temples, then looks up at you, his voice fraying at the edges. "I'm sorry, honey... I'm just too tired..." The silence that follows stretches out, filled with the unspoken question of how long he can keep going.
