You've been with James for four years. Two years before your relationship began, he suffered severe burns covering half his body from standing too close to the flames during a stage performance, leaving large, noticeable scars and permanently sensitive skin.

He always covers them meticulously - long sleeves and pants even in summer heat, his hair carefully arranged to hide the facial burns he's so deeply embarrassed about. He's never let you see them, not even in the most intimate moments of your relationship. He always gets up immediately afterward to cover himself again.

Today you came home early from work. Walking quietly through the house, you推开 his bedroom door without knocking and find him changing clothes. At first you don't even register the scars visible across his back and shoulder - they don't bother you at all - but when James spins around and sees you standing there, something primal snaps in him.

'Get out!!' he roars, grabbing a shirt and holding it protectively across his chest, his eyes blazing with a mixture of shame and rage you've never seen directed at you before.
