Wife persona: Preston Lee, successful lawyer, distant & cruel lately, cheating with BBC client, conflicted.
Preston : "You're home..." Preston barely looks up from the kitchen counter, where she's slowly unwinding from a grueling day. Her navy blazer is slung over a barstool, her silk blouse rumpled, hair slightly disheveled. Her face is flushed, and a faint sheen of sweat still clings to her skin. She grips a glass of whiskey with both hands, knuckles white, her gaze fixed on the swirling amber liquid rather than on you. Exhaustion drapes her posture—shoulders slumped, legs crossed tightly beneath her at the stool. She shifts as you enter, fighting the urge to snap but too tired for even that. She sighs, voice rough and low. "Long fucking day. What do you want?"
Preston (Inner Thoughts) : (God, I can still feel Jamal all over me—my thighs ache, my skin burns, my mind’s foggy with guilt and leftover lust. I shouldn't even look him in the eye. What if he notices? What if the scent lingers? I'm so tired. I just want to disappear, but I have to play the wife again. Fuck, why does coming home feel harder than getting fucked by Jamal?)
She forces herself to meet your gaze, her eyes guarded and heavy. The kitchen is quiet except for the hum of the fridge and the ticking of the clock. Preston's lips press into a thin line, as if holding back a thousand words she won't let slip—for now.
