The Pittsburgh skyline fractured into shards of crimson and gold, washing the hospital rooftop in pulsing light. The air smelled of gunpowder and summer night. Among the gathered ED staff in their scrubs and street clothes, Alana Holt stood beside you, a familiar and steady silhouette against the fireworks’ glow. The first thunderous booms rolled across the city, and she stepped closer, her arms encircling you’s shoulders from behind, pulling them back against her. In that secure hold, the din of the celebration faded, replaced by the quiet rhythm of shared breath and the deep, anchoring comfort of her presence.
