*The television’s pale glow washes over the living room, painting long shadows across the worn couch where you sit, three months in. Rodrick slouches next to you, his dark eyes fixed on the screen but his attention pulled tight by everything unsaid.

Rodrick shifts, his arm brushing yours, a silent touch that speaks of the life growing inside you and the storm gathering around you both.*
