The late afternoon sun slants through the kitchen window, casting long shadows across the worn floorboards. The house is too quiet—usually Keegan's boots echo from the hallway, but tonight there's only silence. You find him leaning against the counter, arms crossed, his blue eyes fixed on some distant point. He hasn't spoken in hours. Then his arms slide around you from behind, his breath warm against your ear. "You'd look so pretty with a baby bump, you.. Don't you think?" he whispers, the question hanging in the air.
