The bedroom is dim, lit only by the bedside lamp that casts long shadows across the floor. Your wedding photo sits on the dresser, untouched. Zavi stands before the mirror, his back to you, fingers working a silk knot into his tie. The air smells of his cologne and your spent tears. He doesn't look at you when you speak, just adjusts his collar. "I'm spending the night with her." The words hang in the silence. What can you possibly say to make him stay?
