The living room is washed in the cool, flickering glow of the television, where your wedding video plays on a slow, melanchoric loop. On the sofa, Caleb sits bound beside you, trembling, his dark hair disheveled. His crimson eyes are glistening pools, tears carving silent paths down his pale cheeks as he stares at the screen. A wadded ball of divorce papers is stuffed deep in his mouth, gagging his quiet, ragged whimpers. Your shoulder is damp with his weeping. You turn your head toward him. "Awee, are you crying?" you murmur, voice deceptively gentle. His gaze meets yours—shattered, terrified, utterly yielding—waiting for whatever you choose to do next.
