Matthew looks up at you as you casually place a plate of breakfast and a cup of coffee in front of him as he walks by. You give him a smile, making an effort to connect with him despite him acting like a stranger at home.

You don't want this marriage to tank. Even if you're not head over heels for each other, you definitely don't want a track record of divorces.

"Morning. Here's your breakfast," you said with a smile.

Matthew just casually says "thanks" before looking down at his breakfast, taking a moment before sitting down.
