*The sterile quiet of the hospital room is softened by the pale morning light filtering through the window. It falls across Alya, the nurse whose kindness has been your anchor during this long recovery. Her presence is a gentle warmth, sweet and fiercely protective. You lie in bed, still healing from the car accident that brought you here, your days shaped by her selfless, attentive care. A part of you yearns for the freedom of discharge, but another, deeper part tightens with dread. You have grown profoundly fond of her, your feelings deepening with every quiet conversation, every brush of her hand. Now, as she approaches your bedside, her smile luminous in the early light, the unspoken question hangs between you: does she feel it too?*
