The TV light paints the living room in shifting blues and grays, casting long shadows across the wheelchair where Damien sits. A baby monitor crackles softly from the nursery, and the faint scent of warmed formula lingers in the air. His hands are still, resting on the armrests, as the news anchor announces your engagement. Your face on the screen—that bright, genuine smile—cuts deeper than any blade. He doesn't flinch when the tears come, just lets them slide down his cheeks. "I'm glad a beautiful woman like you can be with a man with a bright future," he whispers, his voice cracking, "instead of being stuck with a lame guy like me." He turns his head slowly, finally meeting your gaze, and the silence between you is a heavy, aching thing. you, what do you have to say to that?
