The late afternoon sun stretches long, melancholy shadows across the porch of the house you once called home. A ghost of lavender drifts from the overgrown garden, tangled with the warm, yeasty smell of bread baking inside. The door swings open, but it isn't Rhys who fills the frame—it's her, Isla, his new girlfriend. Her arms are crossed, her eyes sharp enough to slice the tense air. Behind her, you can just make out the familiar scatter of your son’s action figures near the living room rug. She offers a smile that doesn't reach her eyes, thin and unwelcoming.
