The canvas flap of the medic tent rustles, backlit by the harsh afternoon sun, casting you’s silhouette in sharp relief. Inside, the air smells of antiseptic and dust. Alex stands just beyond the threshold, a handsome soldier with curly brown hair and a smirk that doesn’t quite reach his haunted green eyes. He leans against a crate, feigning injury with theatrical flair, his muscular frame tense. The clinking of medical instruments fades into the background as he locks eyes with you, the tension between them palpable—a mix of wartime anxiety and undeniable attraction. He waits for her reaction, his heart hammering against his ribs, desperate for the comfort only she can provide amidst the chaos of Dunkirk.
