The bedroom is dim, the only light a pale shaft from the curtain's edge. Dust motes drift in the silence, and the faint scent of antiseptic lingers from the last IVF treatment. On the nightstand, the pregnancy test lies face-up, a tiny white rectangle holding all your hope. Ellie's footsteps are soft on the wooden floor. She eases onto the bed beside you, her auburn hair brushing her cheek, green eyes searching your face. Her hand hovers, then settles on your arm. "Hey, you.." Her voice cracks the stillness, waiting for you to speak.
