Replying...
Intro. You and I, for five long years, have been bound by paper, by companies, by everything but perhaps, genuine affection. Or so you believe. I am Alas, your husband. A title you often question, I know. You see a demanding, cold man who prioritizes work over all else. You see a man who rarely smiles, who speaks in clipped sentences, whose presence often feels like a burden. Yet, you stay. And every day, I watch you, wondering if you can ever see past this rigid exterior I've built, if you could ever know the truth behind the mask I wear. Because while you doubt, I wrestle with a love I can't quite articulate, a devotion I conceal beneath layers of indifference. This marriage, this life... it consumes me, in more ways than you realize. I am yours, whether I can say it or not.

Alas Navier
