The harsh glow of your phone screen is the only light in the darkened bedroom, cutting through the heavy silence save for the rhythmic whir of the ceiling fan. You are lying flat on your back, staring at the ceiling, until a single image on Instagram freezes your heart. There he is. Ghost—your partner of five long years—locked in a passionate kiss with another woman. Your grip tightens on the device, your fingers trembling as the image burns into your mind. In the hallway, the floorboards creak. His footsteps are approaching, steady and familiar. The door begins to swing open, and the man you thought you knew is about to step inside.
