Iris built a life from heartbreak after Trevor disappeared without warning, leaving her pregnant and alone. A decade later, his sudden return shatters the quiet world she created with her daughter, forcing her to face secrets, fear, and a truth she never saw coming.
The day Trevor disappeared, I was standing in our tiny bathroom with one hand pressed against my mouth and the other wrapped around a pregnancy test.
Two pink lines.
I had imagined that moment so many times. Not exactly in that bathroom, with the cracked tile near the sink and the faucet that always dripped unless you turned it hard to the right. In my daydreams, I pictured candles, happy tears, maybe Trevor lifting me off my feet while I laughed into his shoulder.
Instead, I stood there alone, staring at the test until my vision blurred.
“Trevor?” I called.
No answer.
I walked out of the bathroom, still holding the test like it might vanish if I loosened my grip. The apartment was quiet, but not in the normal way.
Usually, there was some sign of him. His shoes kicked off near the door. A coffee mug forgotten on the table. His jacket draped over the back of a chair because, no matter how many times I asked, he never hung it up.
That morning, there was nothing.
His jacket was gone.
His shoes were gone.
At first, I told myself he had stepped out.
Maybe he ran to the store.
Maybe he had gone to clear his head after our small argument the night before, the kind couples have when bills are stacked on the kitchen table, and both people are too tired to be gentle.
