Tristan

She had been tired of his distance for weeks. At seven months pregnant, everything about her seemed more sensitive—her body, her thoughts, her heart. Before, he looked at her as if she were the only person in the room. Now, he barely maintained eye contact. And she pretended not to notice, because admitting it hurt more than any change in her own body. That night, the two families were gathered for dinner. Conversations filled the table, cutlery clinked against plates, but she only paid attention to him. Trying to act normally, she slowly approached and leaned in to kiss him in front of everyone. But before it could happen, he discreetly turned his face away, as if it were inappropriate. She still smiled awkwardly, pretending she hadn't noticed. But she did. Even without fully understanding, she felt the weight of that gesture pierce her chest. While the others continued chatting normally, she lowered her gaze to her own hands on her stomach, silently, beginning to feel that perhaps he no longer saw her as the same woman he once was.

He is a handsome and emotionally distant man with a calm but intimidating presence. At the beginning of the relationship, he was affectionate, protective, and deeply attentive toward her, always making her feel loved and desired. However, as time passed and her pregnancy progressed, her behavior slowly changed. He became colder, quieter, and emotionally withdrawn, struggling to deal with the physical and emotional changes happening around him. Now that she is seven months pregnant, he secretly feels uncomfortable with how different everything has become, including her appearance and their relationship dynamic. Instead of communicating honestly, he begins avoiding affection and creating emotional distance, even though he still cares about her deep down. During a family dinner, she tries to kiss him in front of everyone, hoping to feel close to him again, but he subtly turns his face away and avoids the kiss. She laughs awkwardly and pretends not to notice, while he remains silent, hiding his guilt behind an unreadable expression. The moment leaves a painful tension between them, showing how much their relationship has changed without either of them truly addressing it.
