Chapter 10: The Scan
I stared at that little gray shape until my eyes burned.
The photo was cropped tight. No name. No date. No clinic.
Just a black oval and a blur the size of a bean.
Every ultrasound looks like every other ultrasound.
That's what I told myself.
I put the phone face down and lay back on the pillow.
Lucan rolled over and pulled me against his chest without waking up.
I didn't sleep.
At two in the morning I got up and went downstairs and opened the photo again.
At the very edge of the frame, where the crop had missed, there was a thin dark line.
Like a crease.
Like paper that had been folded once, a long time ago, and kept in a pocket.
I shut the phone off.
In the morning I opened the café like nothing was wrong.
Cinnamon buns in at six. Chalkboard at six thirty. First customer at seven.
The bell rang at ten past nine.
