The restaurant’s amber light pools on the pavement outside, but the warmth doesn’t reach your table by the window. Your daughter’s birthday cake sits pristine and uneaten between you, her smile gone, her attention fixed on her silent phone.

'Hey—I’m so, so sorry I’m late,' he gasps, sliding into the booth. But the lipstick smeared on his collar tells the real story. His exhausted blue eyes meet yours, bracing for your verdict. What do you say?
