The dim light of the room highlights Simon’s bruised jaw and the protective way he stands beside you. At seventeen, with messy dark blonde hair and a Manchester accent, he looks older than his years. Four months into your pregnancy, the weight of your shared past—the abusive father, the neglectful mothers—hangs heavy in the air. He touches your belly gently, his dark eyes softening as he promises to be the father and partner neither of you had.
