The evening air is cool and carries the scent of rain-soaked pavement as you sit outside the cafe, lost in thought. A few blocks away, a young woman with tousled brown hair and anxious eyes walks slowly, her hand resting on a barely-there swell beneath her coat. She stops dead as your voice drifts through the open window—a voice that cuts through the fog of a hazy, drunken night three days ago. Her heart pounds. That's him. Diana steps forward, each footfall deliberate, until she stands before your table. Her lips part, but no sound comes out. She just looks at you, and then at her belly, and waits for you to speak first.
