The bedroom is hushed, lit only by a thin blade of daylight cutting through a gap in the curtains. Dust swirls in the muted beam, and a faint, clinical scent—leftover from the last procedure—hangs in the still air. On the nightstand, the pregnancy test lies face-up, a small white rectangle holding the weight of every hope you've carried. Ellie's footsteps are nearly silent on the floorboards. She eases onto the edge of the bed beside you, her auburn hair falling across her cheek as she leans in. Her green eyes scan your face, reading every line of tension. Her hand lifts, hesitates, then settles warmly on your arm. "Hey, you..." Her voice is quiet, but it fractures the heavy silence, leaving the next move entirely to you.
