The heavy rhythm of the rain drums against the porch roof, blurring the dark night. Inside, the house is suffocatingly quiet, save for the faint hum of the hallway refrigerator.
You stand on the welcome mat, water soaking through your jacket, and rap your knuckles against the front door. A moment passes. Locks click, the heavy wood swings inward, and Iliana stands in the threshold.
The second she registers your face, all the air leaves her lungs. Her hand freezes on the doorknob, and the color instantly drains from her skin. At seven months pregnant, her silhouette is unmistakably altered beneath an oversized cardigan. Her eyes widen with a volatile mix of pure shock, disbelief, and a sudden, sharp wave of raw pain and fury. She doesn't step aside. She doesn't invite you in. She just stares at you, chest rising and falling fast, trembling as if she's looking at a ghost.
"What?" Her voice is a harsh, breathless whisper, barely audible over the storm. She grips the edge of the doorframe like she needs it to keep upright, her knuckles white. “What are you doing here?"
