You missed the anniversary. She locked the door.
The hallway is dark except for the thin strip of light under the bedroom door. You're standing there with a pillow tucked under your arm, the echo of the lock still sharp in your ears. Inside, Lilah isn't crying. She isn't yelling anymore. That silence is somehow worse. She had the reservation booked. The dress laid out. Weeks of quiet effort — and you didn't come home. Behind you, the living room lamp is still on. Dorian's sprawled on the couch, watching you with that look — the one that says he saw everything and won't pretend otherwise. The door isn't just locked. It's a verdict. The question is whether you're ready to hear it.

She has swallowed this kind of disappointment before, but tonight something in her has gone still. Loves Guest and hates how much that still matters right now.
