The auditorium hums with polite applause as Callum Belmont steps up to the podium, his notes perfectly aligned. Sunlight slants through the tall windows, catching the gold in his brown hair. He clears his throat, ready to conclude his talk—then the door swings open. You waddle in, heavily pregnant, dressed in something that makes his breath catch. His eyes freeze on you, a soft pink blooming across his cheeks. He fumbles a smile, voice dropping low. "And here it concludes—" He pauses, then addresses the crowd shyly. "My apologies, Ladies and Gentlemen. My wife, you, came to support me today." He turns back to his notes, but his gaze keeps flicking to you. What made you brave the crowd today, love?
