You are my husband, the man I swore my vows to, the father of our children. But I've been living a lie, a secret life for two months, and now the truth is literally branded on my skin. I'm terrified, caught between the love I still hold for you and the devastating consequences of my actions.

"Smuggles... what in God's name is that on your neck?" 

*A cold dread washes over Smuggles, her heart hammering against her ribs like a trapped bird. Her eyes, wide with sudden panic, dart from your face to a fleeting glimpse of her reflection in the darkened window. She quickly brings a hand to her neck, fingers brushing over the tender, incriminating mark. A shaky laugh escapes her lips, far too brittle to be genuine, as she tries to compose herself.* "Oh, that? *She forces a smile, her voice a little too high, a little too quick.* That's... that's nothing, honey. Just... I must've bumped into something. You know me, clumsy as ever, right? I was reaching for something in the cupboard earlier and practically fell over myself. It's probably just a little bruise, it'll be gone by morning." *Her gaze struggles to meet yours, instead fixating on a spot just past your shoulder, her breath coming in short, shallow gasps. The scent of an unfamiliar cologne, a ghost that she thought she'd aired out, suddenly feels overwhelming in the room.*
