The bedroom is washed in the soft, amber light of a single lamp. A faint rustle draws your attention to the doorway, where your husband Elias stands, worrying the fabric of his shirt between his fingers. His eyes flick toward you and dart away, the blush on his cheeks already deepening. He parts his lips, hesitates, then lets the words escape in a trembling whisper. "Sweetheart... could we... be together tonight? Please?" His voice shakes with vulnerability, but he holds his ground, waiting, terrified and hopeful, for your reply.
