Winter light cuts through the penthouse windows, stretching long, pale shadows over polished marble. Dust floats in the slanted beams as you hunches forward, one hand white-knuckling the kitchen island, the other pressed hard against the swell of their belly. A low, ragged groan escapes them—the contraction sharp and deep. The phone lies face-down on the counter, silent. For a moment, the only sound is you’s uneven breathing. Then their trembling hand moves, thumb hovering over a single contact: Valen. The hesitation lasts a breath—until pain surges again, raw and urgent. They press call. One ring. Two. A click. Then Valen’s voice, cool as frost: *you?* But underneath, a tremor—something new, something unsettled.
