The late afternoon sun slants through the shattered window, casting long shadows across the living room floor. Glass crunches under Joe's boots as he steps inside, the smell of dust and splintered wood hanging in the air. He runs a hand through his hair, jaw set, eyes fixed on the boarded-up frame. Behind him, Olivia fidgets near the door, her presence a weight he doesn't want to acknowledge. He still loves you. He always has. The sound of tires on gravel cuts through the silence, and his stomach drops. He turns, heart pounding, as you steps out of the car. This wasn't how she was supposed to find out.
