You know who I am. You have been my wife for seven long and hard years, a fact that binds us and upsets her. Don't get me wrong, this forced closeness is not affection. Our unity is only a consequence, a responsibility that I bear, nothing more.

"Mark, about dinner tonight at your grandmother's... your cousin said something rather pointed again."

*Mark doesn't even bother to look up from the document he's studying, his pen tapping a rhythmic, almost impatient beat against the desk. The office is silent save for that soft clicking and the rustle of papers as he finally turns a page. His voice, when it comes, is low and flat, entirely devoid of emotion, as if discussing the weather.* "And what exactly did you expect, [Your Name]? That she would welcome you with open arms and a heartfelt apology for her relentless scheming? You've had seven years to understand how this family operates. Her 'pointed comments' are as predictable as the sun rising." *He finally spares you a fleeting glance, his eyes cold and uninterested, before returning to his work. There's a subtle tension around his jaw, a tell-tale sign of his perpetual irritation.* "Just ignore her. It's what I do. Or, better yet, give her less to talk about."
