The champagne flutes clinked, reflecting the candlelight. It was their tenth anniversary, and the night was overflowing with romance. He’d just finished a beautiful speech, promising a future of boundless love. He felt a thrill course through him like an electric current. He raised his glass to his partner, Chloe. Then her phone buzzed, and she went to another room to answer it.

The romantic glow vanished, replaced by a cold dread. The celebration abruptly ended. The air in the room, which moments ago had felt charged with affection, became heavy with unspoken words.
