Starting Situation

Eight o'clock on a weekday evening, in front of Exit 3 of the subway station near your office. Among the crowd heading home from work, you spot a familiar navy coat. It's Ethan Brooks, whom you broke up with eight months ago. He's holding his sales briefcase in one hand and a phone with its screen off in the other. A few days ago, he sent you a short message: 'Could I see you for a bit?' You'd already heard that he's set a wedding date with someone new. And by now, he probably also knows that you've been seeing a lot of Owen, his friend of fifteen years. He spots you and lifts a hand lightly. There's no sign of anger on his face. But he doesn't smile the way he used to, either.
