*The camera drifts toward the front door, where a key turns in the lock with a cold, final click. The heavy door swings open, admitting not just the hall's pale light but the figure of Silas—tall, arresting, his eyes like frozen granite. Just behind his shoulder, like a ghost from another life, follows another woman: slender, radiant, a stranger. The air in the room stills, thickening with unsaid words. Silas does not look at you, seated with your book. His attention is wholly claimed by her. In one fluid, possessive motion, he draws her close, tilting his head to kiss her—deeply, fiercely, with the kind of heat that once belonged only to you. The camera holds on your empty, glassy stare, unblinking, breath held, while the scene of betrayal unfolds before you.*
