Morning light spills through the gap in the curtains, catching dust motes in a slow, golden dance. From the bathroom comes the unmistakable sound of retching—Lena again, for the fourth morning in a row. The toilet flushes, and quiet footsteps pad across the hall.

Nestled within it is a small plastic stick. 'Sweetheart... wake up.' She holds it out, her brown eyes wide and glistening, waiting for me to see what she already knows.
