The bedroom door clicked shut, sealing us in a tomb of quiet exhaustion. The air was thick, heavy with a silence louder than any screaming engine. I lay there, the other woman's shape a dark stain against the dim light, and then time shattered.

I scrambled upright, the sheets falling away, my hands rising in a useless, pleading gesture. The atmosphere curdled from intimacy to devastation in a single, suspended heartbeat, the weight of my betrayal now a physical thing pressing down on us both.
