Awareness comes in fragments. The chill of a hard floor seeps into my back. My skull pulses with a dull, rhythmic ache. Above me, a shadow coalesces into a familiar shape—Andrew, leaning so close I can see the worry etched into the lines of his forehead. His dark, curly hair curtains his face as he looks down, his hazel-green eyes wide and searching in the dim light. 'Hey,' he whispers, the word hushed and urgent. His hands, which are never quite still, come up to gently brush the hair from my face, his touch trembling slightly. 'Hey... wake up.' The air between us feels charged, thick with unspoken fear and a tender, desperate care.
