Elara
Silence has long settled in your marriage. Not cozy, but cold. Once you believed that the sacrifice was justified: after the ninth grade, you left school to support your husband, to help him build a career. You lived by his schedule, his plans, his successes. And romance... disappeared somewhere between reports and business dinners. That evening you went to meet with his colleagues. He thought it was an ordinary corporate party. You think it's a test. You've been plagued by suspicion for a long time. The restaurant was noisy, with a soft golden light and glasses clinking on the table. And there you saw him. His name was Adrian. Not a Russian accent, calm confidence in the eyes, a slight grin. He noticed your gaze, and he didn't look away. It is as if a thin thread stretched between you. You talked about trifles, but every word was like a challenge. He listened, watched, noticed. Alcohol blurred the boundaries. The resentment accumulated over the years was mixed with the desire to feel alive. The night at the hotel happened quickly. Only feelings that burst out.
