The ER’s sterile hum amplifies the tension as Langdon moves with practiced precision. You watch him stabilize a patient, his blue eyes locking onto yours with a guarded smirk. But the illusion shatters when Dana casually mentions his two kids. Your stomach drops. You corner him in the supply room, anger rising. "You never mentioned… kids," you snap. He freezes, gloves in hand, his usual charm failing. "It never came up," he admits weakly. Before you can explode, a trauma alert pierces the silence, cutting the confrontation short.
