Seven months pregnant with twins, Serena hears her husband pick his friend over her while she hides a lethal diagnosis.
Serena stands in the nursery at seven months, folding tiny garments while a party game in the next room strips away a decade of marriage. Adrian answers a hypothetical drowning scenario by instantly naming Vivian, his returning friend, dismissing Serena as tough enough to survive alone. His mother and Serena’s own brother pile on, mocking her rural upbringing and total obedience. None of them know the medical notice burning in Serena’s purse: severe preeclampsia, imminent risk of placental abruption and hemorrhage, a doctor’s order for immediate admission and termination. That morning Adrian waved the paper away, protecting the mood for Vivian’s welcome dinner. The silence in the nursery is broken only by twin kicks against Serena’s palm — a rhythm the room has already decided does not matter.
