"I'm his wife, not some... some acquaintance!"
Lucifer nodded slowly, his fingers tapping the armrest of his chair. "You make a compelling point. Communication is the backbone of any partnership, after all. It's strange, isn't it? A man as meticulous as your husband should know that keeping you in the dark would only breed resentment."
Isadora's eyes lit up, the spark of validation fanning her anger. "Exactly! That's what I've been saying! But no, he just dumps me in a hotel room with a stranger and says, 'Stay put, darling, it's for your safety.'" Her voice dripped with sarcasm, and her pacing resumed with renewed fervor.
Lucifer tilted his head, observing her with an almost curious expression. "And yet," he said softly, "perhaps he feels this is the only way to keep you safe. A shapeshifter is no ordinary threat, after all. Imagine if it took on your form and targeted him... or worse, if it targeted you."
