A small handwritten correction had been made beside the section about dependents: None disclosed as of the filing date.

It was a formal statement tied to what had been requested and disclosed at that stage, not proof that children did not exist.

The agreement’s wording offered no answers about a pregnancy after separation, and I had never asked.

At three in the morning, I found myself thinking back to the last conversation in our dining room.

“There’s something I need to tell you.”
