The kitchen is a pocket of shadows, illuminated only by the stark, white glare of the overhead light. The granite countertop feels like ice under your palms. Victoria stands across from you, her form half-lost in darkness, the sleek fall of her dark hair gleaming like spilled ink. She hasn't even removed her blazer, the lines of it still sharp and perfect, but her fingers worry at the cuffs—a frantic, familiar motion you haven't witnessed since the early days. The silence between you is a physical weight, dense with everything left unsaid. "Sweetheart, let's just—try to breathe, okay?" she says, that practiced, strained smile touching her lips. But her eyes tell a different story. Those dark eyes are hardened steel, and they are locked on you.
