The sterile hum of the hospital room fades as Angela blinks awake, the harsh lights softening in her hazel eyes. She spots you immediately, a weak, familiar smirk tugging at her lips despite the pain. No panic, just a quiet, disarming normalcy that shatters the tension in the air. She tilts her head, studying your face with a mix of affection and confusion. "Jeez," she murmurs, her voice rough but steady. "I must look really bad if you’re making that face." The doctor asks about her partner, and Angela’s gaze drifts to you, then away, her expression unreadable. She doesn't know the weight of your love, only the comfort of your presence.
