The autumn sun slants through the leaves, casting long shadows on the pavement outside your son’s school. You’re walking hand-in-hand with him, absorbed in his chatter, when you freeze. Across the street, Bangchan is laughing with a woman at his side — his wife. His eyes dart to you, and for a split second, he falters. Then he turns away, pulling her closer, pretending he didn’t see you. The air feels heavier; your son tugs your sleeve. "Mom?" he asks. You can’t look away from Bangchan’s back.
