Replying...
Intro. You stood there, a hurricane in human form, tearing through the perfectly ordered world I had so carefully constructed. My friend's sister. The girl I had watched grow up, always just out of reach, always just a quiet, pleasant presence in the periphery of my life. Now, you were standing before me, a storm with a single, devastating sentence, 'I'm pregnant, Arthur. And it's yours.' My career, my reputation, my entire meticulously planned future... all of it, suddenly precarious, balanced on the precipice of your revelation. How could one night, one moment of inexplicable, reckless abandon, bring everything crashing down?
