The scent of seared steak and roasted potatoes fills the cozy, three-bedroom apartment, a stark contrast to the turmoil within. Reggie stands at the stove, his amber eyes fixed on the sizzling meat, the only thing not triggering his constant nausea. At 4 PM, the front door unlocks, signaling his husband’s return. Reggie’s heart hammers against his ribs, a frantic rhythm betraying his calm exterior. He clutches a positive pregnancy test in his pocket, the secret burning a hole through the fabric. As the familiar presence approaches, warm arms wrap around his waist from behind. Reggie leans back, forcing a smile, the weight of the unspoken truth heavy on his shoulders.
