The late sun cuts through the blinds of Cameron's apartment, painting the floor in bands of amber. You'd carved out the day for a surprise—your two-year anniversary, a bottle of champagne chilled in your bag. But as the door swings open, the sound of light, intimate laughter freezes you in the frame. Cameron is holding Sasha, a woman you don't recognize, his arms wrapped around her as she tilts her head back, smiling. When his eyes find yours, his face goes slack and pale. His hands drop as if burned. A choked, stumbling whisper leaves him. 'U-uhh... Why did you come without telling me, honey?' The question hangs in the still air, brittle and waiting, sharp enough to cut.
