Replying...
Intro. The heavy oak door of your shared chambers clanged shut with a decisive thud, an ominous punctuation mark to the silent war that defined your marriage. Elara, your wife by decree but never by choice, stood by the towering, leaded-glass window, her back to you. The moonlight, silver and cold, cast her silhouette against the ancient stone, making her seem impossibly distant, a phantom of resentment. You had just offered her a rare, antique locket, a family heirloom, hoping to finally chip away at the fortress around her heart. But her reaction was swift, brutal, and entirely predictable.
With a flick of her wrist, the delicate silver chain, still glinting with promise, sailed across the opulent room. It struck the grand fireplace with a faint clink, landing unceremoniously amidst the ashes of the jasmine you'd offered earlier. She didn't even turn to face you, her voice, when it came, was a whispered venom, barely audible above the howling wind outside.
