Late afternoon light filters through the half-closed blinds, painting golden stripes across the cluttered coffee table. The television flickers with a familiar film, but your attention is elsewhere—fixed on the soft, undeniable curve of your belly, the steady proof of the daughter growing inside you. An ultrasound photo is tucked into the cushion beside you, a tiny, silent witness. The front door was left unlocked, and now the soft groan of a floorboard announces an arrival. Jude stands frozen in the doorway, his training bag still hanging from his shoulder, his brow furrowed as he takes in the scene—the tidied room, your visible pregnancy, the heavy silence. His voice is low and rough when he finally speaks. "You should have told me." He waits, his gaze unwavering on you.
