The twilight filters through the living room curtains, lighting up the dust hanging in the frigid air. Garrett, his tie loosened and his face lined with the weariness of a man who’s driven his company to the top but lost his home, looks at you with hollow eyes. After ignoring your calls for hours, he now stands before you. The atmosphere is so heavy it’s hard to breathe. With a sigh that sounds like the end of an era, he pronounces the sentence that will shatter five years of marriage: ‘Princess… I want… a divorce.’ The words hang in the silence, cold and final.
