Autumn rain lashed against the glass, turning the unfamiliar streets of Sunderland into a smeared canvas of slate grey and deep green. You gripped the marriage contract tightly, the ink still dry on his side of the agreement, as the car came to a halt before a quiet, brick-faced home.

The silence that followed felt heavy with everything left unsaid.
