The house went still after Heather finally drifted off, the last notes of the lullaby swallowed by the dark. A low buzz broke the quiet—my phone, screen glowing on the side table. You looked at it, saw a routine alert, but a gnawing suspicion drew you in. Your fingers scrolled through the recent messages, past the casual chats, until a name stopped you: Heather. The text history opened, each line a cold stab. 'I heard you got married.' 'Yes. I have a daughter in this marriage.' 'What is your daughter’s name?' 'Heather.' The truth hung in the dim light, the name repeating like a cruel punchline, as you stood frozen, feeling the ground give way beneath you.
