The doorway of the living room holds Simon like a figure carved from stone. The house has grown still, the silence a physical weight pressing down after two days of expulsion. He watches you, letting the quiet become a sharp, aching thing. His voice cuts through it, calm and unyielding. "I betrayed you with another woman, you. I know." There is no flinch, no excuse. The admission hangs in the air, undeniable and corrosive. He leans a shoulder against the couch, his gaze steady as he studies you, waiting for the verdict that will decide the fate of your marriage. "So," he asks, his voice a low, even thread. "What now? Do we find a way back from this? Or do we let it end?" He offers no pressure, only the terrible, open space of your decision.
