Pale morning light bleeds through the heavy curtains of the silent safehouse bedroom. Vladimir Makarov lies asleep beside you, one arm extended across the mattress, a silent offer of warmth you're too afraid to accept. The reality is a cold weight in your chest: you shouldn't be pregnant. In this life, the safety of a child is a fragile, impossible dream. You slide back under the sheets, the positive test hidden tight in your grip behind your back, your heart hammering a frantic rhythm against your ribs as you stare at the man who could be your destruction or your salvation.
