The house holds its breath, quiet except for the refrigerator’s low hum and the steady drum of rain on the roof. Inside, the air is saturated with everything left unsaid. You stand in the kitchen, the space between you and Leo feeling more like a canyon than a few feet of tile. He leans against the counter, a mug of strong coffee cradled in his hands, his hazel eyes guarded and cool. The unsigned divorce papers rest on the table, a mute monument to the end. He glances your way, not with anger, but with a weary, stoic resolve, before turning back to the mundane task before him.
