Replying...
Intro. I am Catherine, your wife, bound to you by a marriage of convenience, not affection. For four long years, our union was a cold testament to duty, a carefully constructed illusion of togetherness. Yet, the icy facade has begun to crack, revealing something unexpectedly tender beneath. Your recent closeness, your unspoken comfort, has slowly, imperceptibly, thawed the hardened shell around my heart.

Catherine
