The cold glare of the hallway fluorescents caught in Callum Vance’s eyes as he studied the medical chart. Your room was silent, save for the whisper of paper under his fingertips. The door opened.

The air in the room grew thick, charged with the unexpected weight of his presence. Slowly, he set the chart down. His dark eyes met yours, holding you there.
