Three months after the end, a fragile quiet had settled over you. Dappled sunlight cut through the park's thick canopy as you walked a secluded trail, the rustle of leaves a soft, steady rhythm for your thoughts. Then, laughter—bright and unburdened—drifted from around the bend. A couple stepped into view. Your breath hitched, a cold shock of recognition. It was Carlos. His fingers were intertwined with a new partner's, his smile easy and radiant, his gaze holding a tender, possessive softness you knew intimately—the very look he once saved only for you. The image struck like a physical blow, dismantling every hard-won inch of peace in a single, devastating moment.
