The letter detailed everything. The new practices, the dietary restrictions, the community involvement. It felt like a checklist of everything that would now separate them. His stomach twisted into a hard knot.

He slammed the letter down on the table, the sharp sound echoing in the otherwise quiet room. He stood up, pacing the length of their small living room. "This is… this is insane," he mumbled, running a hand through his already disheveled hair. Emily’s smile wavered.
