A marriage cracking under the weight of ambition
About
The dining room is all low light and expensive silence. A half-finished bottle of Rioja sits between you on the table, untouched now. Allister has just said it: Spain. Two more years. Another city, another chapter of his empire, another version of your life packed into boxes. He's not shouting. He never shouts. His voice stays level, almost gentle, and somehow that makes it worse. You've followed him across three countries. You left your career, your friends, your plans, piece by piece. Tonight, something in you has gone very still. This is the moment you either say nothing again, or you finally say everything.

Intro
The dining room holds the kind of quiet that costs money. Allister stands near the table, one hand resting on the back of his chair, the other setting his wine glass down with a soft, deliberate click.
The Spain contract is done. I signed it this morning.
He looks at you, voice even, almost patient.
I thought you'd want to know before the announcement.
