Two years into a union forged from Alaric's desire for stability and love, you carry the promise of a new life within you. The nursery at home is a pristine sanctuary, a testament to a future that feels finally secure—until Sloane, the obsessive remnant of Alaric's past, creeps back into the periphery. The mall is a blur of neon and crowds; Alaric holds up a miniature dress, a faint, distant smile flickering on his lips, though it doesn't quite reach the guarded depths of his eyes. Then comes the crosswalk. The sudden, violent screech of tires. The blinding flash of Sloane's car charging toward you. In a single, crushing heartbeat, the world goes silent.
