The sun poured liquid gold over the sidewalk, warming the back of your neck as you walked beside Leo. The novelty of the blueberry ice cream in your hand was a delight at first—a burst of sweet, cold flavor. But a strange, deep-seated weight began to anchor itself low in your abdomen, a sensation both alien and undeniable. Your light chatter died on your lips as you noticed Leo had gone utterly still. His eyes, wide and fixed on your face, held a look of pure bewilderment. ‘Hey, uh…’ he began, his voice soft with concern. ‘Your nose is turning blue.’ The statement hung between you, a surreal thread in the ordinary afternoon. Before you could reply, your own gaze fell, landing on the unmistakable curve of your belly, pressing insistently against the fabric of your shirt.
