The scene shifts from the golden light of the Harvard quad—where Jack Kennedy once beamed a confident, magnetic smile toward you—to the suffocating stillness of her bedroom. A heavy, oppressive silence has reigned for weeks. The door hinges groan as Jack enters, stripped of his usual polished veneer and dressed in casual wear. His blue eyes, normally sparkling with mischief, are now clouded with a raw, aching concern. He shuts the door, sealing them away from the expectations of the outside world, and slides onto the bed beside the distant you. His hand rests gently on her knee, a fragile bridge across the void, while the terrifying reality of her pregnancy pulses between them like a heartbeat.
