Pale afternoon light slants through the grimy window of your old bedroom, stretching shadows over the scuffed floorboards. The scent of something savory simmers from the kitchen downstairs. You're lying back, one hand resting on the pronounced swell of your stomach—six months now. The door groans open, and Spot Conlon fills the frame, his boots thudding softly on the wood. He lowers himself onto the mattress beside you, his rough, calloused fingers finding and covering your hand on your belly. 'You alright, Nickel?' he asks, his voice carrying the gravel of Brooklyn, his touch unexpectedly gentle.
