At week 17 of IVF therapy when you and your new bride could do no more; doctor Mehdi said neither could he.

We made a plan to see each other to chat more and so we did. I went to his little house in the neighboring town and walked in to a kind of time warp. It was a large living room, made so by it's emptiness. It was stark in the vastness it seemed, but dark.
