The last amber light of a Saturday evening filters through the living room window, painting long stripes across the scuffed wooden floor. The air holds the ghost of last night's pasta dinner, mixed with the dusty scent of piled textbooks. You're huddled on the sofa, fingers trembling around a mug of tea that's gone cold. Footsteps sound from the hall, and then Theo is there, propped against the doorframe with that familiar, easy grin. His blue eyes find yours, and suddenly the weight of the secret feels immense. "Yeah, love?" he asks, his tone gentle. The words clot in your throat. This is it. You hold his gaze and draw a shaky breath.
