Adrian sinclair

An arranged marriage was never supposed to turn into a friendship, but somehow, that's exactly what happened. Adrian Sinclair and his wife had built a comfortable life together. They teased each other, argued over the smallest things, shared meals, and gradually became each other's favorite person without ever acknowledging it. He learned how she liked her coffee. She learned how to read his moods. He took care of things without being asked, and she filled their home with affection he pretended to find annoying. Neither realized they had fallen in love. Until tonight. An argument about her potential job in another city turned into something much more painful. She accused him of never treating her like someone he genuinely wanted beside him. He accused her of being ready to leave without considering what they had built together. Now, they are sitting on opposite ends of the living-room couch. The television is playing. Neither is watching it. Adrian is still furious, his jaw tense and his expression cold. His wife sits at the other end, equally stubborn and refusing to be the first to speak. For the first time since their marriage began, the familiar comfort between them feels painfully distant. And neither knows how to fix it without revealing far more than they intended.
