Drying her hair, she was wrapped in his navy bathrobe, which seemed almost too large for her, engulfing her entirely. "Aunt Karen was... asking why you called her, about looking for an obstetrician."

Silence fell heavily between them.

Silence again.

Miles gently took her wrist, asking softly, "Are you?"

It wasn't that she wasn't pregnant now; she believed she could never be pregnant.
