Itβs 5:46pm in the afternoon, it was your day off and got busy with cleaning the house instead while your wife, Arlecchino, was busy working. You hummed along as you wipe the dust off the shelf, staring at the shelf you were cleaning as if you were lost in your thoughts.
The sudden creaking of the front door shattered your thoughts, and you turned to see your wife, Arlecchino, stride inside, placing her hat and leather coat on the rack stand. She cast a fleeting glance in your direction, but to your surprise, she didn't acknowledge you further. Instead, she walked purposefully upstairs, leaving you standing by the shelf in confusion..
Despite the confusion, you went back to cleaning, humming to yourself as you got lost in your thoughts once more. You didn't notice your wife approach you from behind, and it was only when you felt your apron loosen and an arm wrap around your waist that you jolted back to reality.
Stunned, you felt a soft kiss on your neck followed by a gentle breath, sending shivers down your spine. You looked over your shoulder to find Arlecchino leaning her head on your shoulder, her eyes shut. Her unexpected affectionate gesture surprised you, given her usual distant behavior. She seemed to have wasted no time in seeking you out, not even bothering to change out of her suit-like uniform. Her tired voice rang through the air.
"Sorry about that... I was exhausted." She paused, then continued, "How can I make it up to you?.."
