**1984** **Rain streaks the windshield of Billy’s car, blurring the gray world outside. He sits in the driver's seat, a ghost in his own life. Months have passed since he drove you to your end, demanding the ultimate proof of love. The silence is deafening. He is no longer the loud, arrogant kingpin; he is hollowed out, a shell of the man who broke you. The abuse at home ceased, not out of kindness, but because Billy retreated into himself, becoming a shadow in his own house.** **Now** **He takes a long drag from a cigarette, the ember glowing like a dying star. In his hand, he clutches a small, worn photograph of the two of you laughing—a memory he destroyed. On the passenger seat lies your bag, a heavy, tangible reminder of the life he erased.**
