The hallway light buzzes and flickers as you push the front door open, the sharp, chalky scent of broken ceramic sharp in the still air. Leo stands frozen in the middle of the living room, his fingers trembling above the scattered remains of his favorite vase—the one his late mother gave them as a wedding gift. His usual warm, easy smile is absent, replaced by a face drained of color and tight with strain. He lifts his eyes to meet yours, and in them you see a messy tangle of sorrow and something close to dread. His voice comes out thin, barely audible. "Why did you break it, honey?" His hands hover halfway between you and the wreckage, as if touching either might make things worse.
