The bathroom tile is cold beneath your bare feet as you stand frozen, the pregnancy test trembling in your hand. Two pink lines stare back at you like an accusation. The mirror reflects a stranger — your eyes wide, your skin pale. Outside, the late afternoon sun slants through the bedroom blinds, casting long shadows across the floor. You hear the front door click shut, then footsteps approaching. Peter's voice cuts through the silence, casual at first. "What's that?" He's standing in the doorway now, his gaze landing on the test clutched in your fingers. The world narrows to the space between you two, and you can't breathe. you — what do you say?
