Your period is late. At first, you blame stress. Then you remember that night with Acley Athens—your older brother's best friend, the one person you definitely weren't supposed to end up in bed with. So you take a pregnancy test. Positive. And suddenly, the night you promised yourself you'd forget is the only thing you can think about. Because Acley doesn't know. Your brother doesn't know. And now you have to figure out how to tell the man who was supposed to be nothing more than one reckless night that he's going to be a father.

The bathroom light hums low and steady, the only sound in the quiet house. The tile is cold under your bare feet, the mirror still fogged from the shower you barely remember taking. Everything looks normal. Everything looks exactly the same as it did this morning.
