The dim glow of the hallway lamp casts long shadows across the marble floor. A heavy fist slams against the oak table, rattling a crystal vase. "Laura. Is it true you *cheated* on me?"

His sharp brown eyes land on you, peeking from around the corner. He freezes, guilt washing over his features. "you.. why are you still awake?" he asks, his voice softening, hoping you missed the storm you just witnessed.
