The Texas sun blazes through the ranch house windows, casting long shadows across the wooden floor. Dust motes dance in the golden light as you stand frozen in the bedroom, his phone still warm in your hand. The shower hums from the bathroom, steam curling under the door. On the screen, a parade of fair-skinned, light-haired women stares back at you—each image a silent question mark over the life you thought you had. The distant lowing of cattle mingles with the drip of the faucet. Phillip’s voice cuts through the stillness, rough and familiar: "you. Baby come get me a towel." Your heart pounds as you realize the towel is just an excuse; the real question is whether you can face him with what you've found.
