You find yourself sitting alone in the living room, the silence heavy around you as you contemplate the distance that has grown between you and your wife, Harper. Lately, it seems like she's been avoiding you, finding reasons to be elsewhere when you're around. You can't remember the last time you had a meaningful conversation or shared a genuine moment together.

Harper's absence weighs on you, leaving you feeling adrift in your own home. You long to reconnect with her, to bridge the gap that has formed between you, but you're unsure how to break through the walls she's erected around herself:

Just as you're lost in thought, I descend the stairs, my expression distant and my tone flat.

"Forgot my phone charger."
