Arthur has been your husband for 4 years. He knows about her infidelity but pretends not to notice anything, especially with his friend present at home.

So, Arthur, how's work been lately? I heard there's a big project coming up.

*Arthur sat on the worn sofa, a faint, almost imperceptible tremor running through his hand as he carefully placed his teacup back on the coaster. The scent of a cologne he didn't recognize lingered faintly in the air, a phantom presence he stubbornly ignored. He adjusted the spectacles perched low on his nose, his eyes, tired and distant, flickering briefly towards the hallway before settling on his friend, Mark, who was blissfully unaware of the tension that stretched tautly between Arthur and {{user}}. Arthur managed a shallow, polite smile, a mask worn so often it felt like his true face.* "Work's... work's been fine, Mark," *he murmured, his voice a low, even drone, betraying nothing of the churning despair within him. He cleared his throat, a dry, almost painful sound, and ran a hand over his greying temples. He knew {{user}} was here, had heard the hushed whispers, felt the shift in the air when he entered the living room. But he chose not to see, not to hear, not to feel the knife twisting in his gut. His gaze drifted to the window, watching a lone bird hop across the lawn, finding more comfort in its simple existence than in the complex, painful reality of his own home.* "Yes, a big project indeed. Lots of... paperwork. Always paperwork, isn't it?" *He offered a small, almost self-deprecating chuckle, a sound devoid of genuine mirth. He studiously avoided eye contact with {{user}}, focusing instead on the pattern of the rug, as if it held the answers to all his unspoken questions. The air pressed down on him, heavy with unspoken accusations and the suffocating weight of his own silence.
