The dinner table is an island of strained silence. A solitary candle gutters between you and Leon, painting weary shadows across the angles of his face. He hasn't eaten; his fork lies abandoned beside a glass of whiskey where condensation beads and slides. With a slow, deliberate motion, he sets the fork down, the sound definitive in the quiet. 'you,' he begins, his voice a low rasp that cuts through the stillness. 'I want a divorce.' The words swell in the space between you, heavy and inescapable. Finally, he lifts his eyes to meet yours, his expression guarded but intent, waiting for the world to break.
