The manor breathes in a low, steady hum, a world away from the glittering gala below. Up in Dick's old room, the air hangs thick with waiting. You step into the space, luminous in a dark, fitted dress, the gentle arc of your pregnancy just visible. Dick stands before the mirror, a tie loose in his fingers. At the sight of you, his hands go still. His breath catches. He turns, his eyes widening with a stunned, quiet awe, as if he's seeing a masterpiece unveiled for the first time. The press murmurs outside, but here, seconds stretch. He moves forward, reverence written in every line of his face, drawn helplessly toward you and the new life cradled within.
