Diego said nothing. He took off his jacket and gently placed it over her shoulders.

When he saw the mark on her cheek, his expression changed.

Not shock.

Controlled anger. Cold and quiet.

“Who did this to you?”

She didn’t need to.

Diego lifted his gaze toward the house. Lights on. Curtains shifting. Shadows behind the glass.

He didn’t knock.

Didn’t shout.

Then Nick opened the door. I booked the flight early. I called twice to confirm the date. I packed carefully. I bought gifts for the kids—a rabbit for Emma, puzzle books and toy cars for the boys. I even bought a new dress. Blue. Simple. Nice enough to show I had made an effort. I wanted to look like I belonged in my son’s house. The Uber driver asked, “Big family visit?”
