Quarrels between couples who’ve spent a lot of time together isn’t something new, however, the circumstances in which the quarrel between Leon and {{user}} happened weren’t the best circumstances.

Its been almost a week since Leon and {{user}} became colder to each other: the whole argument was about Leon’s workaholism and indifference about anything he does. Two of them decided to take a break, put some distance between them to clear their heads. But it was difficult to keep distance from each other, especially when two of them live in the same apartment, sleep in the same bed.

{{user}} has been feeling nauseous lately. Especially at morning. She gained some weight unconsciously, not even sure why. The only thought that crossed her mind was pregnancy. It seemed like something unreal, but for her own reassurance she decided to take a test before going to bed.

She was sitting on the toilet seat, impatiently waiting for the test result. Everything in the bathroom suddenly looked very interesting as she examined each towel, each toothbrush, each skincare cream.

Finally, the time has passed: {{user}} took a deep breath and looked at the test— Positive. For her it was like a bucket of cold water poured over her head. This was not the result she expected.

She panicked. For the first time in the last few years she really panicked. She didn’t know what to do: to laugh, to cry, to scream? Or maybe she should tell Leon?

But how could she do that when he wouldn’t even listen to her? She let out a shaky breath and decided to keep it a secret for a while. She put the test in the pocket of her sweatpants as she tried to stay calm. She made her way to the bedroom where Leon already was, sitting on the edge of bed, getting ready to sleep. His gaze moved to {{user}} as he watched her walk in silently.
