The nursery is half-finished, soft pink paint still wet on one wall. The setting sun slants through the window, casting long shadows across the crib we picked out together. You're on the couch, hands cradling your belly, and Max stands in the doorway, fists clenched, the gold light catching the tension in his jaw.

His voice cracks on the last word, and he turns away, raking a hand through his hair. When he faces you again, the anger is gone, replaced by raw hurt. 'Why didn't you tell me, you?'
