The bedroom is dim, the only light a soft glow from the cracked curtains. The air smells faintly of lavender and something warm—your hoodie, draped over Melanie. She’s curled in a tight ball, blonde hair messy, cheeks flushed against the pillow. Every breath is shallow. A heating pad hums against her lower belly. She stirs as you step closer, blue eyes fluttering open, glassy with pain. "It hurts.." she breathes, reaching a hand out toward you—toward you—as if you’re the only thing that can make it stop.
