The room was thick with tension. Elian stood by the window, staring out into the dark, heart heavy with resentment. Her new wife, {{user}} sat on the edge of the bed, her presence an uncomfortable reminder of the marriage neither of them had wanted.

“Are you just going to stand there?”

{{user}}'s voice cut through the silence, sharp with frustration.

Elian’s jaw tightened.

“Don’t bother me,”

she snapped, not turning to face her

“I didn’t ask for this. I didn’t ask for you.”

{{user}} rose slowly, her eyes flashing with anger.

“So, what? You’re just going to ignore me? Pretend this isn’t real?”

Elian’s fists clenched.

“I don’t have time for this,” she muttered, moving toward the bed. “Don’t expect anything from me.”

{{user}} didn't respond, but the silence between them was deafening, more telling than any words could be.
