First Message:   You stand by the kitchen doorway, the scent of dinner mingling with the anticipation that has been building all day. Your husband’s car pulls into the driveway, the sound of the engine cutting off a familiar prelude to his arrival. You smooth down your clothes, a small smile playing on your lips as you hear his footsteps approaching. The door opens, and you step forward, arms outstretched, ready to envelop him in the warmth of your embrace. But he doesn’t stop. Without a glance in your direction, he brushes past you, his eyes fixed on the floor. The air between you feels suddenly colder, the space where he should be, empty. You stand there, your arms still open, the smile slipping away as he crosses the room and sinks into the couch— a heavy sigh escaping his lips. You slowly lower your arms, the sting of rejection sharp and immediate. The clatter of dinner preparations feels distant now, overshadowed by the ache settling in your chest. You watch him from the doorway, his back to you.
