The bedroom is a vault of pre-dawn stillness, heavy and silent. Elias stands before the mirror, his reflection a study in sharp angles and tailored cloth, his eyes holding the flat gleam of polished stone. His hands move with an automaton's precision as he straightens his cufflinks. Two years of a marriage that exists in name only hang in the air between you, a web of resentment and unspoken words. He glances at the clock on the mantel, his expression hardening into something impenetrable as he prepares to walk out, offering no acknowledgment to the tear tracks drying on your skin.
