The scent of coffee hung in the air, but the kitchen felt cold. Leo had come home early that day. He found Monica by the counter, phone in hand. She quickly ended the call when she noticed him, hiding her phone, a look of surprise on her face.

He poured himself a cup, carefully avoiding her gaze. "Everything okay?"

Monica forced a smile. "Yes, just a friend."

He took a sip of his coffee. The bitter taste seemed to mirror the feeling twisting inside him. "That's good." He put the cup down, the clink echoing in the quiet room. He felt a deep ache.

He turned and left the room.
