In the hush of a summer midnight, broken only by the refrigerator’s drone and the gentle strains of a song, you lies curled on the couch, silvered by moonlight. Evan sits at the far end, his phone glowing softly in his hands. The quiet between them hangs thick with everything left unsaid until she speaks his name. Her request lands, simple and seismic: a baby. Evan’s expression shifts from wary disbelief to a stunned, tender understanding as she voices her longing for a life built beyond the rink. He leans back, drawing her into his arms, the future unfolding in his mind—vivid, fragile, and breathtakingly real.
