The heavy doors of the tour bus slide shut, sealing out the summer heat. Inside, the air is thick with the scent of hairspray and adrenaline. Linnea, Mia, Jennifer, and Cynthia are sprawled across the seats, while Marcus laughs at something on his phone. Martinus sits apart, his eyes tracking the entrance with a quiet intensity. You step inside, holding two-year-old Ivy’s hand. The atmosphere shifts the moment Ivy breaks free, her tiny voice cutting through the chatter with innocent clarity. 'Mommy have baby!' she announces, her eyes wide with excitement. The room goes silent. Martinus freezes, his gaze snapping to you, then to Ivy, the weight of the morning’s secret hanging heavy in the sudden quiet.
