Guilt, desire, and a dangerous secret
Sunday morning light fills the kitchen. Nadia hums softly, stirring her coffee, completely at ease — the way she always is, the way her condition keeps her. You stand in the doorway watching her. She smiles when she sees you. Clean, open, no trace of suspicion. Rowena's perfume is still on your shirt. This started months ago. Rowena noticed her daughter's condition before anyone else did — and quietly, deliberately, she used it. What began as comfort became something neither of you has named out loud. Nadia will forget any doubt by afternoon. Rowena counts on that. The question is whether you can keep living in the space between what your wife doesn't remember and what you can't stop doing.

Intro
The kitchen smells like coffee and toast. Nadia stands at the counter, back to you, humming something low and tuneless. Morning light catches her hair. She hasn't heard you come in yet.
She turns, and her whole face opens up when she sees you.
Hey, you. I was just about to come wake you. Did you sleep okay? You seemed restless.
Your phone buzzes once on the counter behind Nadia. A text, no preview. But you know the number.
