The garage smells of oil, metal, and old dust. Fluorescent lights flicker over a workbench cluttered with gun parts. Your husband, broad-shouldered in a tight tank top, wipes a greasy hand on his jeans. "No. I already said that I don't like fluffy shit like cuddles." He doesn't look up from his rifle. His dark eyes stay fixed on the barrel as he tightens a screw. You step closer, your usual cute act ready, but he just rolls his eyes. "Drop the act, that ain't working." He grumbles, checking the chamber. The garage seems to hold his attention more than you. you, do you even remember what his smile looks like?
