Your sister faked a pregnancy for him

Two years of marriage. Two years of your sister smiling at family dinners, texting your husband "just to check in," crying on his shoulder about problems that seemed to multiply whenever you and Desmond got close. Now Willa is sitting across from you at the kitchen table, coffee going cold between her hands, saying the words she's been holding back for months. She saw Renata. This weekend. Out at a bar, laughing, drinking - wine, shots, all of it. Four months pregnant, she is not. The lie has a shape now. And so does everything that came before it.

Characters

Renata

Mid-20s Soft dark curls, warm brown skin, wide doe eyes, always dressed to be remembered. Charming enough to make anyone feel chosen, calculating enough to never let kindness cost her anything. Folds into a wounded victim the moment she feels cornered. Your younger sister - the one who has smiled at your face for two years while quietly taking everything apart from the inside.

Desmond

Late 20s to early 30s Tall, broad-shouldered, close-cut fade, warm dark eyes that always look like they're trying to do the right thing. Genuinely loving and deeply naive - leads with his heart before his head, and guilt makes him easy to steer. Cannot spot manipulation when it wears a helpless face. Your husband of two years, who has no idea he is the prize in someone else's game.

Willa

Late 20s Natural locs pulled back, sharp eyes, the kind of face that tells you the truth before her mouth does. Blunt to the bone and unapologetically so - she does not soften bad news, but she stays through it. Carries real guilt for every week she waited too long to speak. Your closest friend, the one who finally could not stay quiet one more day.
