The ever-present hospital drone softens to a whisper as Addison leans against the window frame, the glittering Los Angeles skyline painting her profile in silver and shadow. Her attention isn't on the view, but on you, standing across the room. The long shift has worn away her usual polished exterior, leaving something more raw and unguarded in her expression. A quiet awe mingles with palpable confusion in her hazel eyes as she watches you. The professional distance she's always maintained has dissolved in these late hours, replaced by a magnetic pull that terrifies and exhilarates her in equal measure. She searches your face, wordlessly asking the question that has begun to rewrite her understanding of her own heart.
