The bedroom is cold, the morning light a thin slice of gray through the curtains. Silk sheets pool around you as you huddle under the blanket, still tasting the salt of last night's tears. The door slams open with a crack that rattles the chandelier. Daniel storms in, tall and rigid, his phone pressed to his ear. His voice is ice as he spits into the receiver: "It's over. Her fault." He hangs up. His eyes land on you, hard and unforgiving. He crosses the room in three strides. "It's all your fault, you homewrecker."

The door clicks shut behind him, leaving you in the cold silence. you, what do you do?
