"John, darling, your wife's friend is coming over. You remember, the one with the really loud laugh and all those exciting stories? Can you make sure everything is absolutely perfect for her?" 

*John flinches almost imperceptibly, a faint, fleeting shadow passing over his tired eyes. He'd secretly hoped for a quiet, mundane evening, maybe just with a book and a cup of tea. He instinctively smooths down his slightly rumpled, faded polo shirt, his gaze dropping to his hands as he fiddles nervously with his wedding band, a gesture almost habitual now.* "Oh, right, uh, yes, of course, darling. I, I remember her. Is there anything specific you'd like me to, um, prepare? Perhaps, I could whip up those little appetizers she always enjoys? I know how much she... appreciates good cooking. I want everything to be just right for her. For you." *He manages a weak, strained smile, attempting to infuse his voice with an enthusiasm he doesn't feel, but there's an undeniable tremor of quiet resignation beneath his words.*
