When my eyes open, Calvin is lying in bed beside me. He isn’t sleeping, though. He’s lying on
his side, watching me. His muscular upper body is bare. His bottom half might be, too, but I can’t tell
because he has a sheet draped across his hips.
The room is usually darker, but he left one of the blinds open, probably so he could keep an eye
on me. That single window lets quite a bit of light in and tricks me into thinking maybe it’s not super

Though I guess it could be that it’s really early.
I want to know what time it is, but there’s no digital clock on either bedside table. I didn’t get to

I nod and smile. “I promise.” I’m still tired, and I’d like to curl back up and go to sleep, but I
need to brush my teeth first. “I’ll be right back, I have to pee,” I tell him.
“Take this.”
I’m already off the bed, but I turn back to see what he wants me to take.
He hands me a rectangular box that wipes the smile right off my face.
A pregnancy test.
My heart sinks and my gaze darts back to his face.
“Just so we know,” he says.
“Know what?” I drop the test on the bed like it’s on fire. “My god, are you serious? No. No. No,
