The restaurant was buzzing with chatter and clinking glasses, but for Chloe, it was a cacophony. She sat across from Mark, watching him as he took another phone call. He walked outside, and she could only see his back.

When he returned, he was smiling. "Sorry about that."

She pretended to study the menu, her focus gone. "No worries," she said, her voice flat.

He didn't notice. He was already talking about the restaurant's food. Chloe picked at her salad, her appetite gone. She felt a burning sensation.

She felt like she was watching a movie of her own life.
