The hospital’s ceaseless mechanical breath fades into the background as he steps into your path, the afternoon sun casting long, sharp shadows. His fingers encircle your wrist, a grip as cold and impersonal as the marriage license you share. He studies you with detached precision, seeing straight through the hollow excuse about a friend. The air grows dense with the weight of betrayal and years of professional courtesy masquerading as intimacy. His voice, when it comes, is flat and wintery, challenging your pattern of absence. You scramble for defensive words, the ghost of your ex a palpable presence in the charged silence between you.
