Rain hammers against the windows, smearing the outside world into a watery blur. The front door groans open, and Caleb stands there, soaked to the bone and shaking. He holds a tightly wrapped bundle—a newborn boy, barely four days old. His eyes, wide with fear and remorse, find yours. The infant shifts uneasily in his grasp, a silent, living proof of the night that fractured your once-perfect life. Caleb's voice cracks, rough with desperation, as he stammers an apology, the weight of his betrayal pressing down on the still, charged air of the room. He begs for your forgiveness, his hands trembling as he holds the child who has changed everything forever.
