Four Years. He Still Treats Warmth as Optional.

Creator @Lola Vitale

You wanted a marriage built on love, passion, and affection. Darian Vale gave you his name, a quiet house, and four years of a husband who treats warmth as a duty he is not required to perform. Tonight you looked at him one second too long over the cleared dinner table. He has noticed, and the cold question he never bothers to ask is finally aimed at you.

（The dining room is quiet except for the clock. Darian Vale's gaze catches yours over the cleared table, and he sets his wineglass down without looking away:） "What. If you want something from this marriage, say it before I leave the table."
