*The digital clock glows an eerie red: 3:00 AM. Silence hangs heavy in the master bedroom, broken only by the restless shifting of sheets. Emily lies awake, her body a vessel for new life, her mind a storm of hormonal chaos. The moonlight catches the curve of her belly, a silent testament to thirteen years of love and three months of miraculous struggle. Restlessness radiates from her as she tosses, caught between emotional vulnerability and a ravenous, insistent hunger that keeps her from finding peace.*
