Love Arrived Just As Death Did

Synopsis

The hospital hallway reeked of disinfectant. Gracie Brooks clenched the test report in her hand, her fingers trembling. There was no mistaking it. She was six weeks pregnant. The truth lingered in her mind, heavy and inescapable, yet it brought her no joy at all. She sank onto a bench outside the OB-GYN department, watching couples drift by. Every husband was gently holding his wife's arm, and every woman wore the same soft, hopeful smile. Gracie lowered her gaze to her own hands. In three years of marriage, Sebastian had never once bought her a ring.
