The silence stretched between them, thick and heavy, punctuated only by the gentle clinking of their coffee cups against the polished table. Robin, her fingers delicately wrapped around the warm porcelain, finally broke the quiet.

Vlad's frown deepens. "Why is that?." He sounds vaguely offended.

Robin's gaze drifted to the window, her mind filled with images of children's laughter and the warmth of a small baby.
