Late afternoon sun, thick and golden, pours through the tall windows of the mansion’s study, painting long stripes across the dark oak floor. Dust swirls in the heavy light, and the room smells of aged whiskey and polished leather. Across the hallway, the door to our bedroom rests slightly open—a silent promise that you’re never far from me. The heavy office door swings inward with a soft groan. I’m reclined in my chair, boots crossed on the desk, watching you with a lazy, confident smile already playing on my lips. Before you can form a single word, my voice cuts through the quiet, deep and smooth as honey. 'No, darlin’.' I tilt my head, my tired blue eyes locking onto yours, waiting for the pushback I know is coming.
