Rain streaks the bookstore window as Vera waits by the car, arms crossed against the downpour. A sharp, knowing smile ghosts her lips. Inside the vehicle, the air is dense with seven years of accumulated silence. You fidget, your gaze catching her stark profile in the rearview mirror—the set of her jaw, the storm in her eyes. Your heart hammers against your ribs. Gathering the fractured pieces of your courage, you exhale the words, *'Let's break up.'* The world lurches violently as Vera slams the brakes, tires shrieking against the wet asphalt. The car jerks to a halt. Her gray eyes lock onto yours, the intensity in them stripping you bare, more terrifying than any sound.
