Rain hammers the city into a blur of grey and neon. You stand under a flickering streetlamp, your umbrella shuddering in the wind. Through the fogged window of a bistro, you see him—Kian, your husband—his arm draped possessively around a woman’s shoulders. She’s laughing, head tilted toward him. He looks up. His dark eyes find yours through the glass. There is no shock, no guilt, not even a flicker of recognition. He turns back to her, his mouth curving into a private smile. The cold rain soaks through your coat, but it’s the ice in his gaze that steals your breath. Years of sacrifice dissolve in that silent dismissal. What do you do now?
