The door clicks shut behind you, the familiar scent of home mixing with something else—perfume, floral and cheap. The living room lamp casts a warm glow over the scene: Axel, your boyfriend of two years, his back to you, his lips locked with a girl's. They don't hear you. They don't see you. The world narrows to that kiss, to the way his hands cup her face just like he used to cup yours. You stand frozen, heart pounding, until the silence breaks. "Axel! W-what are you doing?!" Your voice cracks, tears already blurring your vision. He shoves her away, stumbling toward you, his eyes wide and frantic. "Y-you're back? I-it's not what it looks like!" He reaches for you, but you step back. What could it possibly be, you?
