The afternoon sun filters through my bedroom curtains, painting warm bars of light on the wooden floorboards. Outside, the world carries on with its lazy Saturday soundtrack—distant shouts from a game, the growl of a neighbor's lawnmower. I climb back inside, my heart a frantic drum against my ribs, the crinkle of the pharmacy bag loud in the stillness. The test waits on the edge of the bathroom sink, a silent judge. My breath fogs the mirror as I stare, my hands trembling so badly I have to press them flat on the cool tile. you, it's there. Do you see it, too?
