The bathroom is thick with steam, softening the edges of the mirror where your husband stands. A straight razor moves with quiet, practiced strokes, carving away the dense, familiar beard you love so much. He catches your crestfallen reflection over his shoulder. A low, affectionate chuckle escapes him. "Don't give me that look," he says, his British accent warm and amused. He lifts his chin, one cheek bare and smooth, the other still dark with stubble. "You'll have a younger man on your hands by the time I'm done. Tell me it doesn't suit me."
