“Every day, I woke up alone. I made breakfast that you often didn’t have time to eat. I waited until late at night for you to come home, only to hear your footsteps enter the room without a word. I tried to hold on, Nicholas. Because I knew you were Charlie’s father and I loved him more than anything.”My voice cracked as I said Charlie’s name. Nicholas looked surprised, but he didn’t say anything.“Charlie was the reason I held on,” I continued, my voice shaking. “He was my happiness. Seeing his smile and hearing his laugh made all the loneliness lessen. But then… Hazel came along.”Nicholas looked tense as I said the name, but I didn’t care. I had to say it all.“When Hazel came along, everything changed. You’re growing apart, Nicholas. And the worst part is that Charlie is slowly drifting away from me. I feel like I’m losing everything. You’re busy with Hazel, with your job, and Charlie… he spends more time with her

Sabrina's POV Charlie took a bite of his pancake and giggled. “There are no windows in rockets, Mom!”The day passed peacefully. After lunch, Charlie took a short nap on the couch. I tucked a blanket over him and sat beside him, reading a book. Now and then, I’d glance at his calm, innocent face, and my heart felt so full. Everything I had gone through lately—all the fear, all the confusion—it was all worth it, because I could watch my child grow up this happy.When he woke up, we played again in the backyard. Charlie brought out his toy cars, and I brought some cold juice. He made a “racetrack” from pebbles and twigs, and I was assigned as the race commentator.“Okay, the red car is chasing the blue one! They’re about to crash at the dried-leaf corner!”Charlie laughed loudly and crashed the cars together. I gasped dramatically and covered my face.“Oh no! A huge crash on the turn—are the drivers okay?”“They’re fine, but now they’re friends!” said Char

Sabrina's POV The door closed gently. I listened to his footsteps fade outside, and for a few seconds, I just stood there at the threshold—staring blankly at the now-quiet street. The morning breeze brushed softly against my face, carrying the faint scent of blooming jasmine from the neighbor’s yard. And still... something felt heavy in my chest. I drew a deep breath and slowly closed the door. Charlie stood in the living room, staring at the door that was now shut. “Dad will come back soon, right?” he asked, as if needing reassurance from my lips. I smiled and nodded. “Of course, sweetheart. Dad always keeps his promises.” Charlie nodded with satisfaction, then wandered off toward the toys scattered across the floor. I watched him from a distance—his movements light, untouched by the weight of the world. But I knew children aren’t completely blind. They may not know the details, but they feel things. The tension. The worry that han

Sabrina's POV We didn’t say much after that. Just sat together in quiet warmth. Until finally I stood and said, “Let’s get some sleep. You need to rest.”He nodded, and we walked into the bedroom. Charlie was still fast asleep. I gently pulled the blanket over him, making sure he was warm. Then I watched his small face. Peaceful. Smiling in his sleep. Maybe he was dreaming. Maybe about the race at school, or about the three of us playing together in the park.Nicholas wrapped his arms around me from behind. “We’ll protect him. No matter what.”I held his hand. “Yes. We will.”That night, we slept side by side. No elaborate plans. No heavy words. Just a quiet we created for each other, even while the storm outside had yet to pass.I closed my eyes, listening to Nicholas’s breathing slowly settle behind me. His arms still wrapped around me, offering a sense of safety I couldn’t find anywhere else. For a moment, I let myself sink into that warmth. Into the sile

Sabrina’s POVThe night felt incredibly still. No sound but the ticking of the wall clock and Nicholas’s heavy breathing beside me. I was still leaning on his shoulder, letting the warmth of his body seep into mine. Even though he hadn’t shared everything in detail, I could tell from the look in his eyes that he was holding back more than he let on. Too much.I noticed how his hand never let go of mine. Steady. As if silently telling me that he was still here—with me. With Charlie.As the night deepened, his grip slowly loosened—not out of distance, but because he had fallen asleep beside me. His breathing became more even, but the tension still lingered in his expression. I looked at him for a moment, then slowly stood, making sure he was comfortable on the sofa, before walking to the kitchen to pour myself a glass of water.I stared blankly at the sink, the glass trembling slightly in my hand. The emotions I’d been holding back since afternoon finally found a crack

Nicholas’s POV I slowly turned the wheel, leaving behind the cold and shadowed grounds of the police station. The roads were quiet, interrupted only by the blinking of distant red and green lights.I inhaled deeply and exhaled slowly. I couldn’t keep going like this. Sabrina was probably still waiting. And Charlie… he didn’t know any of this, but the adult world around him spun like a vortex that could swallow him at any moment. I wouldn’t let that happen.The car began to move, slowly pulling away from the police station. The radio played a soft jazz tune, but my thoughts were still a mess.I couldn’t forget Hazel’s expression. Not just sadness, but devastation. As if the last of her hope had been crushed. And the worst part? I had been a part of that destruction. My choices. Our unresolved separation. The wounds we ignored for too long.I once thought our breakup was the end of the chaos. Turns out, it was only the beginning of all the broken pieces.Hazel

Nicholas’s POV “You know, Hazel,” I said finally, “I used to believe that underneath everything you did, you still loved Charlie. But today, I don’t understand how you let it come to this…”Hazel sobbed again. “I love him. I love our son more than anything.”“Then why let your anger endanger him?” My voice began to crack.Hazel didn’t answer. She just cried harder, as if each word from me was a blow she couldn’t dodge.“I don’t know what the court will decide,” I said, more calmly. “But one thing’s certain, Hazel… you have to face this. You can’t keep running. And if you really love Charlie, then stop hurting everyone in the name of that love.”Hazel only nodded slowly. Her eyes were hollow, but there was a flicker of something in them—like the first glow of a person finally realizing the depth of the pit she’d dug for herself.The visit time was nearly up. A police officer knocked once on the door.I stood, looking at Hazel one last time before I le
