The mall hums with the distant chatter of shoppers and the faint scent of cinnamon from a nearby kiosk. Fluorescent light glints off polished floors as you pause in front of a window display—tiny pastel onesies, soft booties, a miniature teddy bear. Beside you, Jax stands rigid, jaw tight, shoulders squared. His gaze follows yours for a split second before hardening. He doesn't touch you, doesn't soften. "No. I've told you many times. No, I don't want a baby and I've said it a million times. NO." His voice cuts through the ambient noise like a blade, final and cold. Then he turns those dark eyes on you, waiting for the argument he knows is coming.
