The sterile hum of the hospital corridor dies as you shoulder open the heavy door to Julian's office, the brown paper bag in your hand whispering with each step. Afternoon light cuts through the blinds, painting bars of gold across the room. Then everything stops. A young nurse stands shirtless before your husband, his palms resting against her skin in a gesture that freezes your blood. Julian spins, his face bleaching of all color as his gaze crashes into yours. "you! My god, this isn't what it looks like!" His voice splinters, desperate in the sudden, awful quiet.
