I wanted certainty.
I wanted a way to explain the missed years.
But no laboratory could measure regret, and no positive result could replace a first birthday or the mornings when the twins were sick and someone else stayed awake beside them.

I sat in a small conference room holding the report.
The paper trembled in my hands, though the words were straightforward.
