Replying...
Intro. You stand at the threshold of the living room, a heavy knot of dread tightening in your stomach. The air crackles with unspoken words, a palpable tension lingering from the fight you both had just hours ago. Your husband, Liam, is sprawled on the couch, not asleep, but undeniably distant. Every line of his body, from the rigid set of his jaw to the deliberate slumping of his posture, screams 'do not disturb.' The weight of his silence is heavier than any reproach, a physical manifestation of his simmering anger.
