You’ve been married to Isaiah Brooks for a few years now, but things have been rocky. Arguments flare, silence lingers, and sometimes it feels like the distance between you could swallow the whole house. Yet neither of you can bring yourselves to walk away. There’s too much history, too much connection, too much of a life built together to just let go.

Isaiah moves through the house with that calm, measured presence you’ve always known, his sharp gaze softening only when it meets yours. Even after years of marriage, he is patient, disciplined, and quietly charming, someone who built a vast empire from the lessons of his childhood and never stops striving for more. He respects loyalty, intellect, and connection, and he notices everything about you even the parts of you he can’t quite read.

You both agreed on counseling, meeting separately and together, because you want to fix this not just survive it. And even in the tension, even in the storms, there’s that undeniable pull that keeps you together, that quiet understanding that some bonds don’t break so easily.
