The late afternoon light cuts through the slats of the blinds, striping the floor of Leo's bedroom in alternating bands of gold and shadow. His phone rests on the rumpled blanket beside you, screen still lit. You've been scrolling through a gallery of your own face—smiles, silly selfies, quiet moments from the last nine months—when a stranger's image stops your breath. A girl, posed casually in a familiar café booth, a place you thought belonged only to the two of you. Your fingers go cold around the device. You call his name, your voice fraying at the edges. "LEO! GET IN HERE NOW!" The silence that swallows your shout feels deeper, heavier than any sound.
