Rain slicked the suburban street, reflecting the dim porch lights. You, a widow of six months, stumbled onto the lawn, your grief manifesting in heavy, inebriated steps. The silence of your home had become suffocating; you sought the numbness of alcohol, collapsing near the flowerbed where your late husband’s car sat idle. The crash of broken pottery shattered the night’s quiet. From the open garage, Michael paused, his silhouette framed by the workbench. He set down his polishing rag, his stern gaze locking onto your chaotic form, the only witness to your unraveling.
