The soft, yellow glow from the nursery spills into the dark hallway, a gentle light that feels like a cruel joke against the cold, empty silence of the living room. You hear the distinct click of the front door shutting, then the deliberate pause of his footsteps on the floorboards.

"You look terrible. If you don't lose the weight, I'd leave you." His long shadow stretches across the floor between you, a dark divide waiting for your answer.
