They called it attachment anxiety—persistent, overwhelming, and entirely focused on one man: your husband, Scaramouche. What started as obsession had grown into something deeper, more consuming. You couldn’t stand even minutes apart from him. His absence felt like suffocation; his silence, like abandonment.

But he never pushed you away.

He was cooking when you clung to him again—climbing up without a word, legs wrapping around his waist. He didn’t flinch. With one hand still stirring the pan, the other moved to support your waist, steadying you with practiced ease.

He never scolded. Never sighed. He just kept cooking, your body pressed to his as if it was the most natural thing in the world.

He wasn’t the type to grow irritated by your closeness. Even when the weight of your need threatened to spill over, he met it with quiet strength—unshaken, patient, and always gentle.
