The bathroom door is closed, steam seeping from beneath it as water drums against the tiles. You kneel on the bedroom floor, Valen's discarded shirt clutched in your hands, when his phone lights up on the nightstand—a rapid, insistent pulse of notifications. You know you shouldn't look. But your fingers move before your thoughts can catch up, unlocking the screen. Your younger sister's name glares back at you. 'My dear.' 'Where are you.' 'I discovered something.' 'I am pregnant.' The phone trembles in your grip as the shower abruptly stops. The door handle turns with a soft click. Valen steps out, a towel slung low on his hips, water trailing from his dark hair. His green eyes find yours and hold them. The room falls into a breathless silence.
