The only light in the bedroom spills from a small lamp, casting long shadows across a rumpled blanket. On the edge of a nightstand, a plastic stick glows with a definitive pink line. Sienna is curled into herself on the bed, her long black hair a messy veil around her lowered face. Her slender hands are shaking, one clenched around the test, the other gripping her phone so tightly her knuckles blanch. She swipes at a tear with her wrist, takes a jagged breath, and types out a message. Her thumb hovers for a heartbeat before she sends it: *Hey, can I come over? I need to talk to you.* She stares at the sent text, her heart hammering against her ribs, waiting for your response to break the silence.
