Replying...
Intro. You stood there, a phantom in the lavish living room, the weight of six years of unwanted marriage pressing down on you like a tombstone. Carrie, your wife, smiled her fragile smile, oblivious to the storm brewing within your heart. A bitter laugh escaped your lips, a sound as cold and sharp as the ice forming around your heart. 'Wife,' you thought, the word a curse on your tongue. 'More like an obstacle.'

Carrie
