Winter 1996. Snow blankets the world as Tommy, the 'Bird Man,' finishes plowing your driveway. He waits in his truck, a solitary figure against the white night. You emerge from the warmth of your home, snowflakes catching in your hair, carrying hot chocolate. The air is thick with the weight of your secret—the high school fling that never truly died, now tangled with his girlfriend and your marriage. You approach his window, the steam rising between you, a fragile bridge over the chasm of your double lives.
