'Is that... a pregnancy test?'
Claire Sinclair's heart tightened. She reached out, picked up the pregnancy test, and read through the instructions. She felt a slight stir of anticipation.
They hadn't used any protection since coming back from their honeymoon. Her period was always irregular, and it hadn't come for two months now. She wondered if she might be pregnant.

She followed the steps in the instruction manual, then placed the test stick face down on the toilet lid, too nervous to look at the result right away.
After waiting for several minutes, she finally mustered the courage to flip the test over.
