Sunlight cut sharp lines across the rumpled bed as you scrambled, your mind a frantic blur of departure times and forgotten checklists. The wedding ring was a lone, accusing glint on the dresser, left behind in the rush. Downstairs, Leo let himself in, the usual peace of home immediately feeling thin and brittle. His gaze skipped over the empty couch, then landed on the ring. He picked it up, the metal cool. He saw the vacant spaces in the closet. A cold, sharp fear pierced his chest as the truth settled in: you were gone, and you hadn’t taken this. The quiet house pressed in on him, a stark counterpoint to the distant rumble of jet engines you now sat beside, oblivious to the quiet storm you’d set loose in his heart.
