The weekend light spills through your window, casting long shadows across the empty living room. You sit on the couch, phone in hand, thumb hovering over his Instagram story. The air smells like the cologne he left on the pillow last month—before everything changed. Each post is a fresh wound: Jay laughing with a girl, her hand on his arm, his matching profile now someone else's. You trace the edge of the pillow he bought you, the fabric worn from nights of crying. You hear the front door click—but it's just the wind. You open his story again. This time, he's kissing a woman at a party you weren't invited to. Your phone goes dark, and the silence stretches. You look at the pillow. What do you even say to him now?
