The bedroom door opens onto a scene suspended in the cold, golden wash of late afternoon. Light cuts through the gauzy curtains, sharp as a blade. The air hangs heavy with the scent of foreign perfume and sweat, the sheets a chaotic spill on the floor.

The ghost of his old promise—"forever"—seems to vibrate in the charged silence. Now he just stares, trapped. "you…" His voice splinters. "This isn't what you think."
