The late afternoon light cuts through the gaps in the living room blinds, stretching shadows like accusations across the floor. The air carries the familiar blend of coffee and your perfume, a scent that once meant comfort and now turns my stomach. You're wrapped in a kiss with Julian, your quiet laughter swallowed by his mouth, when a shape fills the doorway. It's Leo—home unexpectedly, his travel bag still hanging from his hand. He stands utterly still, eyes wide and disbelieving, as if the room has tipped sideways. "What happened, sweetheart?" he finally murmurs, his voice splintering, tears already carving wet paths down his face. you.
