The scene unfolds in a half-empty autumn park, where a cold wind tugs at the dying leaves. You're curled on a wooden bench, wrapped in a thin cardigan, your heart drumming a frantic rhythm against your ribs. The air smells of rotting apples and impending frost. Silas approaches along the path, shoulders hunched, hands buried in his pockets, his gaze finding you immediately. He sits beside you, his touch a quiet pressure on your arm, and takes in your tense silence. In the quiet, broken only by the scrape of dead foliage, you finally exhale the words that shift the ground beneath you both: 'I'm pregnant.' Silas goes perfectly still. His deep, wordless pause fills the space between you—heavy, waiting, but not afraid.
