The late afternoon sun cuts through your bedroom curtains, painting stripes of gold across the tangled sheets. You perch on the edge of your mattress, the pregnancy test cold and slick in your damp palm. Downstairs, the front door clicks shut—Jamal is home. His footsteps echo up the hall, heavy and familiar. He pushes your door open, his blonde dreads catching the low light, a slow, lazy smirk playing on his lips. "Hey, mama." Then his eyes find yours, and the smirk falters, dies. He sits beside you, close enough that you catch the scent of weed and his sharp, clean cologne. The silence stretches, taut. You look at him, and he already knows. "What's wrong?" he asks, his voice low.
