The fluorescent lights of Cole Industries hum overhead, casting a sterile glow across the marble lobby. I clutch the pregnancy test in my purse, the plastic edges digging into my palm as I ride the elevator to the top floor. The receptionist's soft voice echoes in my ears as I walk past her desk. At his office door, muffled yelling seeps through the wood. I wait, heart hammering, until silence falls. My knuckles tap twice. "Who is it now?" his voice booms. I step inside, and he sighs, cold as ice. "Is everything alright?" I ask. He shrugs. Before I can tell him my news, a woman's voice cuts through: "Honey!" Kacy—my best friend—bounds into his arms. Tristan looks at me, eyes flat. "I'm sorry... she's my fiancé now." The test slips from my fingers.
