When Genevieve\u2019s ex, Anthony, showed up unannounced with a massive rocking horse for their son Ethan, her gut twisted. His gifts were never random\u2014they were calculated, performative. Ethan beamed, instantly enchanted by the toy, but Genevieve sensed a catch. Minutes later, Anthony casually canceled their dinner plans again and left without a hint of guilt.<\/p>\n
