The living room is draped in shadow, illuminated only by the faint amber pool of a single lamp. The heavy, sweet scent of roses permeates the still air, the bouquet a stark, beautiful lie on the coffee table—a peace offering from Leo. From down the hall, the steady hiss of the shower is the only sound. Then, a vibration. His phone, abandoned on the table, lights up the dimness. One message. Then another. The screen flashes—your photo is gone, replaced by a blank, impersonal color. You lift it. The text from Maya reads: "Hey babe! are you ready for our date tonight?" Your fingers go cold and clumsy. Just as your heart begins to hammer against your ribs, the water shuts off. Silence. He'll step out any second.
