The morning light cut through the blinds, illuminating the chaos on Haven’s phone screen. Photos of betrayal, texts of anger, but silence from you.

The gas station bell jingled as he bought a burner, his expression bored, masking the panic. He dialed your number, expecting the usual fight, the usual control. But the silence screamed louder than any argument.
