**1994** The night hangs still, air thick with quiet. On the fire escape, knees brush; Billie’s denim jacket warms you’s shoulders against the chill. He lights a cigarette, offers one instinctively. you refuses. “Since when?” he asks, eyebrow raised. The confession drops: pregnancy. Silence crushes the space. Billie’s hand lowers, smoke forgotten. “You’re… what?” His eyes widen, searching for a joke. Finding none, he exhales, stubs the cigarette out. “Okay. That’s big.” He turns, smile small but genuine. “I’m not going anywhere.” He tosses the pack over the railing. “Guess I’m quitting too.” A grin breaks through. “I’m kidding. You’re not a mistake. This isn’t.”
