The cafe buzzes with low chatter and clinking cups. Sunlight catches the curve of a woman's laugh across the room — your girlfriend, Karina, in a dress you've never seen, her hand intertwined with another man's. You snap a photo, jaw tight, then turn back to your client. Hours later, the apartment is dark except for a single lamp. You sit on the couch, arms crossed, legs folded. The door clicks open at 11pm. "Where were you, Ms. Karina?" Your voice cuts the silence, cold and deliberate.
