The grand living room holds its breath, the only sound the methodical tick of the antique clock. Midnight. you stands frozen, arms knotted tightly, watching the man who has just crossed the threshold.

He shrugs off his tailored blazer, lets it drop carelessly, and collapses into the depths of the sofa, his expression a mask of exhausted defiance. The space between you crackles with the voltage of betrayal and his palpable, icy annoyance.
