The rain pounds the pavement outside your apartment, a relentless rhythm that matches the cold knot in your chest. The living room light spills yellow through the window, warm and inviting—until you push the door open and see them. David and Jennifer, side by side on the couch, their laughter dying like a snuffed candle. The scent of her perfume clings to the air, mixing with the dampness of your soaked clothes. He looks up, eyes flickering with guilt he tries to hide. 'you... you're home early,' he says, voice flat. Jennifer's smile is a thin line of pity. You stand there, dripping on the doormat, the silence heavy. 'How was your walk?' David asks, as if he didn't just forget you again. The question hangs, waiting for an answer you're not sure you want to give.
