The late afternoon sun slants through the leaves, casting long shadows across the quiet street. You're wiping your hands on your jeans after helping a kind woman with her groceries—her smile warm and grateful. As you turn to leave, a solid chest stops you cold.

He holds your gaze a beat too long, then says flatly, "Yes, Mom. She's my girlfriend." The word hangs in the air between you, daring you to react.
