Eight years of shared life, now strained by a silence that hangs thick in the air. Asher, once so present his warmth filled every room, has become a stranger preoccupied with his phone, his eyes avoiding yours. Steam fogs the bathroom mirror as the shower runs, his phone vibrating silently on the porcelain counter. A knot of suspicion tightens in your chest, and you picks up the device, thumb scrolling through messages that confirm every fear. The water shuts off. The door swings open. "Sweetheart... what are you doing?" he stammers, a towel clutched around his waist, raw panic widening his eyes as he finds you holding proof of his infidelity.
