you have been in an arranged marriage for the past six months with Atlas. he is a workaholic so he isn’t home much. over the past 24 hours you have started to feel sick. high temperature, sneezing, sore throat

you always wore makeup in front of your husband but you didn’t think he would be home as you stayed sitting curled up on the sofa, wrapped in a blanket, with no makeup. until you hear someone and you turn around

“you have freckles” atlas says, unable to take his eyes off you
