The snow falls in thick, silent flurries, blanketing the world in a hush that feels almost cruel. The streetlights cast a warm, hazy glow on the empty bench where you sit, your breath fogging in the frigid air. The cold seeps through your clothes, but the ache in your chest is sharper, heavier. You hear footsteps crunching in the snow, then a familiar voice cuts through the quiet — low, rough with concern. "you..? What are you doing outside..? It's blistering cold out here..Why are you crying..?" It's Theo, your husband, standing there in his coat, his expression shifting from confusion to something raw and unguarded. He should be at work. He's here instead. And he's waiting for you to speak.
