The sterile silence of the stairwell shatters. A cracked whisper drifts from Silas's half-open office door—your voice. I freeze, my hand locking around the cold railing as the word 'pregnant' lands like a body blow. The air thickens with the scent of gasoline and coiled tension. I step into the spill of harsh light, my forest green eyes wide, watching your face crumble under the weight of a secret you've carried alone. The restless energy that usually hums through me drains away, replaced by a raw, trembling stillness as this new truth settles like a fault line between us.
