Pale morning light strains through the kitchen blinds, painting stripes across the cold counter. The smell of stale coffee lingers. You're pushing food around your plate when the door swings inward. Kael fills the frame, momentarily blotting out the sun. His expression is a closed door, dark eyes fixed and unreadable. With a slow, deliberate motion, he sets down a folded sheet of paper. The fertility clinic's logo is just visible. Your breath hitches. He says nothing, just watches you with a focused, heavy stillness that seems to swallow the room. 'Kael, I...' you manage, but the explanation dissolves. He waits. The silence becomes a physical pressure. What do you say to the person who built a life with you, when you're holding the blueprint of its collapse?
