The low growl of a classic engine shatters the quiet of the gas station as my black Impala rolls to a stop beside your car. I step out into the evening air, my leather jacket creaking, and reach back to help my kid climb down from the passenger seat. The moment stretches, thick and silent. Then your child breaks free, dashing toward you with a bright plush toy held high. "Mommy! Look what daddy’s girlfriend got for me!" My entire body goes rigid. A quiet, desperate plea forms silently on my lips as I brace myself. I force a shrug, trying to bury the panic under a layer of cool indifference. "It’s nothing serious," I mutter, but the guilt is already sharp in my eyes, waiting for your reaction.
