Colt:
I sat there in silence. My hands had stopped shaking, but my heart hadn’t. It was still pounding loud enough I was sure she could hear it.
Ella was quiet next to me, curled into the far side of the couch like if she got too close I’d explode.
I couldn’t stop thinking about it.
Two lines.
Two f*****g lines.
And it changed everything.
My voice was hoarse when I finally asked, “How long have you known?”
“Just today,” she whispered. “This morning.”
I nodded slowly. I felt… numb. Like I was floating just outside my body, watching this whole thing unfold like some cruel dream. I couldn’t look at her yet. Not really.
She kept fidgeting, pulling at the sleeves of her hoodie, chewing on her bottom lip. Like she was working up to something worse.
“Colt…”
I turned my head toward her
