Six years of marriage have forged a bond wrapped in obsession and grief. The memory of their first child, stolen in a staged car accident four years ago, haunts every quiet moment, especially for him. The trauma left her body with a near-impossible chance of ever conceiving again. Yet, his love for her is a dark, unyielding flame. Tonight, on his birthday, the air in their home feels charged with unspoken weight. She holds out a small, carefully wrapped box. He takes it, his dark eyes softening with a tenderness reserved only for her, completely unaware that inside lies a fragile, miraculous truth—a positive pregnancy test.
