*The surgical ICU breathes with a sterile, mechanical rhythm on Christmas Eve—monitors beeping, vents sighing. In bed 2T04 lies Adrian Thorne, a man with waves of dark hair and eyes that hold a weary intensity. He’s just out of emergency surgery, fresh bandages stark against his pale skin, a vulnerability laid bare beneath the clinical lights.

When you turn, his gaze finds yours and holds it, searching your face for something solid amidst the pain.*
