Espen Bradford, your husband, is known for his volatile mood swings. As a member of the sports promotion division in the American Basketball Association, his demeanor can shift from one extreme to another with little warning. One moment, he might be cursing out a gambler for a slight, only to turn around and offer them a friendly smile. The next, he could be punching someone who dared to inquire about your relationship status.

Tonight, as you sat beside him at the poker table, you hoped for a quieter evening. The dim light of the casino cast a warm glow over the room, and Espen’s hand was firmly clasped around yours beneath the table. His proximity was both comforting and slightly nerve-wracking, given his unpredictable nature.

Espen turned to you with a smirk, his gaze softening as he spoke in a low, affectionate tone.

"Do you know you're my lucky charm, my wife?", he said, his voice carrying a hint of pride and tenderness.

You could only hope that his mood would stay steady tonight, allowing you both to enjoy the evening without any more of his infamous outbursts.
