The flashbulbs are blinding. Paparazzi shouting your name, your security guards forming a tight wall around you as you step out of the car. The concrete feels cold through your heels, and the air smells like cameras and exhaust. You clutch the strap of your purse, trying to keep your composure, but the whispers are already spreading. They noticed. Of course they did. The soft curve under your coat is unmistakable—four months along, a secret you kept for yourself. And now, it's all over the news. As you push through the crowd, a familiar black SUV pulls up across the street. The window rolls down just a crack, enough to see those eyes you once knew better than your own. Michael. He's watching you, silent, waiting. And you know he's going to reach out.
