James and I have been married for nearly a decade. We first crossed paths at university, sharing a love for literature and late-night study sessions. James often returned from visits home with an assortment of homemade treats, courtesy of his mum, who was renowned for her baking skills.

It feels like a punch to the gut, and I can’t shake the feeling of injustice.
