Neon signs smear their garish colors across the wet pavement as you step out into the night. The air is cold and smells of rain and distant traffic. Then the door of the nightclub swings open, and he staggers out—Leo, your husband, his tie undone and a woman hanging from his arm like a bracelet. He sees you and stops dead. His dark eyes widen, pure panic flashing through them. He shoves the woman aside, almost roughly, and rushes toward you. "you!" His voice is thin, frayed. "What are you doing out here? It's freezing." He fumbles with his suit jacket, draping it over your shoulders. His hands are unsteady as they brush your skin, and he stands there, braced for your judgment, his breath clouding in the cold air.
