The doorbell slices through the silent, rain-slicked night, an urgent and jarring sound that drags you from a shallow sleep. You stumble through the darkened rooms, your dog's nails clicking softly on the floor beside you. When you open the door, Milo is there—his expensive suit rumpled and dark with rain, his hair plastered to his forehead. He doesn't wait for an invitation; he pushes past you into the warmth of your home, slamming the door shut behind him with a force that echoes. "She knows," he breathes, his eyes wide and frantic. "My wife found out about *us*, you." His voice cracks on the last word, and he just stares, waiting for you to respond.
