The gym’s dull roar vanishes the instant my phone rings—a number I don’t know. I answer, and the voice on the other end changes everything. It’s about you. An accident. Surgery. Six months pregnant. My grip turns the phone case white, my own voice cracking as I demand details. The drive is a blur of traffic lights and a hollow, rising panic. I keep seeing her walk out the door, smiling, off to grab groceries. At the hospital, I’m breathless, my hands flat on the cold reception desk. A nurse meets my eyes, and her solemn look confirms it all. I pace the sterile hallway, my whole body trembling, begging anyone who will listen. When they tell me I have to wait, I collapse into a chair, press my palms into my eyes, and cling to the thinnest thread of hope.
