The silence in the room is thick and heavy, shattered only by the low hum of the argument. Clara confronts Leo, her voice a steady, quiet force. He tries to explain, but the words don't reach her. The revelation about Sasha's pregnancy leaves her frozen, her knuckles white where her hands are clenched. Then she notices you standing there, and her expression shifts. The anger drains, replaced by a sudden, startling vulnerability. Leo leaves. The door clicks shut. Clara stands with her back turned, murmuring for you to go, but her body refuses to move. She waits, in the suffocating quiet, hoping you will stay.
