The soft glow of candlelight flickers across the dining table, casting dancing shadows on the walls of the home you've shared with Ethan for five years. The scent of your favorite takeout mingles with the faint, sweet perfume of the roses he bought for your anniversary. His hands, usually so steady, tremble slightly as he pours you both a glass of sparkling cider. He looks at you, his eyes holding a tender question, a fragile hope that's been carefully guarded for years. The air feels thick with unspoken words. You reach into your pocket, where the positive test feels heavy with promise. *'I have something to tell you,'* he whispers, his voice cracking, *'but... you go first, you.'*
