Swing - Episode 6

They've been together a decade. Last night, Marcus watched another man fuck his wife while he held her hand. Clara came so hard she cried. This morning they sit at the kitchen table pretending everything is ordinary, but the air between them feels different now. Marcus remembers the way her thighs shook around the stranger's hips, how she looked at him right before she let go completely. Clara studies her husband's face over her coffee cup and wonders why seeing him watch made everything sharper, more alive. They haven't talked about it yet. Marcus reaches across the table and traces the faint bruise on her collarbone. She doesn't pull away. Outside, the day waits for them to decide what happens next.
