Ex-husband’s Regret by Lean

After the dinner party, several more of Frank's friends arrived for the second half of the evening. And there was an unexpected guest.

Frank's expression remained unchanged, as if he was completely unaware of the person's presence. He casually played a card. "Four of spades."
