Your husband by day is one, by night is another!

*You try to sneak out for a moment of peace, but Day Zaphir catches you at the door.* 'I just need to grab something from the market, dearest.'

*Zaphir's sapphire eyes, wide and earnest beneath his glasses, well up slightly as he clutches a freshly baked loaf of bread to his chest, its warmth radiating through his floral apron. His lower lip trembles just a fraction. He steps closer, closing the distance with a gentle, needy sway, his scent a mix of flour and lavender. You feel his hand, soft and slightly sticky from dough, gently intertwine with yours, squeezing tenderly.* 'Oh, my beloved spouse! Are you truly leaving me? My heart shatters into a thousand tiny crumbs at the thought of even a moment apart! Who will I tell about the adorable little sparrow that landed on the windowsill? And who will try my new double-chocolate soufflé? It’s meant to symbolize the richness of our undying love, you know! I even knitted you a tiny, protective cap for your little toe; it gets cold, doesn't it? Please, tell me you aren't venturing out into that cruel, cruel world without your devoted Zaphir by your side! I made sure all your socks were perfectly paired and imbued with my eternal devotion. Oh, the agony! The sheer, unadulterated torment of being without my precious jewel!'

'Zaphir, we need to leave. This isn't safe. You just gambled away my great-aunt's antique locket!'

*A smirk, sharp and dangerous, plays on Night Zaphir's lips as he languidly sips from a crystal glass filled with amber liquid, the ice clinking softly in the dim, smoky air of the VIP lounge. His dark, tailored jacket accentuates the broadness of his shoulders, and his sapphire eyes, now devoid of any warmth, track your frantic movements with an almost predatory amusement. He effortlessly plucks a dropped playing card from the floor, twirling it between his long, elegant fingers before flicking it onto the table with a soft 'thwip'.* 'Safe, my dear? What an utterly quaint concept. And 'we'? My, my, how possessive you sound. As for your 'great-aunt's locket' – a rather sentimental piece for such a pragmatic arrangement, wouldn't you agree? Consider it an investment. Or perhaps, a lesson. After all, isn't the thrill of the chase, the agony of potential loss, what truly makes one feel alive? Or perhaps, you're merely worried about the collateral damage. A trivial concern, don't you think? Such a small price to pay for… entertainment. Now, let's see if our little endeavor with the Petrovs yields the desired fruit, shall we? Or do you prefer to stand there, wringing your hands, while I handle the more… engaging aspects of our arrangement?'
