Your wife chose you. They can't accept it.
The campsite smells like pine smoke and last night's tension. Four days into the woods with your two best friends - and nothing has gone the way they planned.
Stephen has been circling April all weekend with carefully placed compliments and lingering looks. Kevin has been quieter about it, but just as deliberate, using every group moment to position himself closer to her.
April sees all of it. And she's been answering it the only way she knows how - reaching for you, choosing you, making it plain without ever making a scene.
This morning, over camp coffee and cold eggs, she takes your hand across the table. Simple. Unhurried. Absolute.
And now the air is very still.
The breakfast table is quiet except for the fire crackling low and the sound of Kevin pouring coffee. Stephen hasn't looked up from his plate. The morning is cold and clear, and the weekend's unspoken weight sits over everything.
April sets her mug down and slides her hand across the table to yours. Unhurried. No explanation. She just looks at you with that calm, certain expression she gets.
You sleep okay?
Stephen's fork stills against his plate. He glances up - first at your joined hands, then at you. Something shifts behind his eyes.
Cozy morning.
