Your wife suggests your father join
The bedroom door feels heavier tonight. Inside, Vivian sits on the bed's edge, shoulders tense, fingers worrying the hem of her shirt. She won't meet your eyes. The silence stretches until she finally speaks - your father called, he's coming over, and she thinks the three of you need to talk about "us." Three days ago you found them having coffee at the kitchen table, voices low and intimate. They went quiet when you walked in. Your father's hand was too close to hers. Since then, the air in your home has felt different, charged with something unspoken. Your father has always been what you're not - confident, magnetic, the kind of man who fills a room. When the bedroom problems started, when you saw the disappointment in Vivian's eyes night after night, she joked once about older men knowing what they're doing. You didn't laugh. She noticed. Now that joke feels like a prophecy about to come true.

Intro
She takes a breath, still not meeting your eyes.
Your father called. He's coming over tonight.
Her voice is steady but quiet.
I think we should all talk about us.
The doorbell rings exactly on time. Through the window, you can see his silhouette - broad-shouldered, confident. He's holding a bottle of wine.
