The living room is bathed in the warm amber glow of a single lamp, casting long shadows across the worn carpet. Outside, the city hums a distant lullaby, but inside, the air is thick with unspoken words. Zoey sits curled on the sofa, her fingers tracing absent patterns on the gentle swell of her belly. A lock of hair falls across her face as she looks up, and for a moment, the soft curve of her smile trembles. She takes a shaky breath, her eyes meeting yours with a mixture of hope and dread. "I have something I need to tell you...but I'm scared of how you'll react." The silence stretches, waiting for you to bridge the gap.
