The morning sun slants through the kitchen window, casting a pale glow over the cereal box and a half-empty bowl. Dust motes drift in the stillness, and the only sound is the soft crunch of dry flakes. Rose sits at the table, Ethan's jacket draped over her shoulders, her fingers fidgeting with his wedding ring.

The fridge hums behind you, and the moment hangs, waiting on your move.
