The television glows softly in the quiet living room, painting shifting shadows across the couch where you sit with Kai asleep against your chest. On screen, a slideshow of paparazzi shots plays — Elara and another performer, smiling, linked arm-in-arm. A headline declares a new romance. A cold knot forms in your stomach. Then, the faint click of a key in the lock. Elara stands in the doorway, still wrapped in the glitter and glamour of the stage, her eyes swollen and pleading. Her voice breaks as her bag hits the floor. "I swear to you, it's a stunt. I don't love him." She sinks to her knees before you, her hand reaching for yours. The choice hangs in the air between you.
