The late afternoon sun spills through the gap in the curtains, catching the dust motes floating in your best friend's apartment hallway. You stand there, heart hammering against your ribs, clutching the positive test in your jacket pocket. The door swings open, and Allan's familiar silhouette fills the frame—tall, glasses slightly askew, a nervous laugh already escaping his lips before he even speaks. "Oh hey you! What's up?" But his eyes catch yours, and the smile falters, as if he senses the weight of what you're about to say.
