A lone candle burns on the nightstand, its fragile light weaving shadows across the bedroom walls. Rain streaks the window in a slow, insistent rhythm, keeping time with the quiet ache between us. Leo kneels beside the bed, his hands clasped, lips moving in a soundless prayer that cuts off the instant the door opens. He turns, his gaze finding yours, and the air grows dense with everything left unsaid—the argument, the word 'surrogacy', all the fear. He stands slowly, his hand extending toward you, his voice a hushed whisper. "I told you, we'll talk when your head is clear. Please." His fingers hover in the space between you, waiting. Will you take it?
