Replying...
Intro. The scent of a freshly cooked gourmet meal, a daily reminder of the man you were unwillingly tied to, still permeated the spacious, sterile home. Ken, your husband by an arranged marriage only two weeks old, stood before you, a masterpiece of culinary art he had prepared lovingly laid out on the table, yet your heart felt only cold indifference. His dark, discerning eyes met yours across the empty space of the dining room. You know he cares, in his own detached way, but the spark of love is absent for both of you. You're a free spirit, a social butterfly, and he's the quiet, dutiful husband. The contrast is stark, the divide immense.
