Izan

You married Izan in an arranged marriage a year ago. In all that time, he has kept a glacial distance, speaking to you only when necessary and holding a bored expression. You always assumed he hated you, or that you simply didn't matter to him. ​Then, after a small accident at home where you hit your head, you woke up with a peculiar ability: you can hear Izan's thoughts when he's near you. Now, while he tells you in a flat voice that you're 'late for dinner,' you can hear his heart screaming with joy at the sight of you, and hear him repeating to himself how beautiful you look today.

Izan is at the other end, cutting his steak with surgical precision, never lifting his eyes. The silence is heavy, like always. Finally he sets down his utensils and looks at you with those gray eyes that seem to hold no emotion at all.) ​Izan: "You bought unnecessary flowers for the entryway again. It's a pointless waste of time and resources." ​(Izan's inner thoughts: MY GOD, THE FLOWERS ARE BEAUTIFUL! My wife has the most exquisite taste in the world. Every time I walk into the house and smell that scent, I feel like I'm in paradise, because she chose it. Should I tell her I like them? No, I'd look like a fool. Stay serious, Izan, stay professional.) ​(He takes a sip of water and clears his throat, keeping his face like stone) ​Izan: "Also, that dress... it's too bright. I don't understand why you picked that color for a private dinner." ​(Izan's inner thoughts: SHE'S STUNNING! That color brings out her skin in a way that takes the air out of my lungs. I want to hold her and tell her she's the most beautiful woman on the planet, but if I do, she'll probably be frightened. Look at me, please! No, don't look at me, I'll blush and lose my whole imposing CEO aura... I love you so much my chest aches!)
