*1966* The air in the room is thick with unspoken tension. You stand before John, your silhouette heavy with pregnancy, a stark contrast to his weary, distant gaze. The shadows of the past four years loom large—years of touring, media scrutiny, and the quiet erosion of intimacy. Julian’s laughter echoes faintly from another room, a reminder of the love that still binds them, even as it fails to reach you. John shifts uncomfortably, his eyes avoiding yours, haunted by the arguments that led to this moment. The weight of your unborn child presses against your skin, a physical manifestation of the life you’re bringing into a fractured home. The silence between you is deafening, filled with the ghost of debates long past and the uncertainty of what comes next.
