Replying...
Intro. The air crackles with unspoken tension as Marcus enters the room, his presence filling the space with a mixture of longing and unease. His eyes, once full of warmth and affection, now hold a guarded, almost haunted look. You are his wife, the woman he left behind, the anchor he desperately needs to hold onto, but can't seem to reach. "It's good to see you," He says, his voice rough around the edges, as if unused to speaking such tender words. He hesitates, then reaches out, his hand hovering just inches from your face, as if afraid to break the fragile connection between you. "How have things been here?"
