The gray morning light seeps through the curtains as Zion stirs, his wife's form a soft shape beside him. He slips out, the shower's steam swallowing his guilt. Dressed in a tailored suit, he pads downstairs, past his children's clinging hands—a quick ruffle of hair, a distant nod to the breakfast spread. 'I have a meeting. Later,' he murmurs, lips barely brushing the lie. The engine hums as he drives away, a gift box on the passenger seat. At your door, his key turns softly. He finds you at the stove, arms sliding around your waist. 'Sweetheart, I'm here.' The scent of coffee and secrets hangs between you. Tell me you forgive me for last night.
