The fluorescent hum of the Los Angeles mental hospital fades into the quiet tension of Room 402. Five months have passed since Christian Anderson’s violent admission, yet his gaze remains locked solely on you. Tonight is Friday—your assigned night watch. The room is dim, the air thick with the unspoken danger of a man who once tried to kill, now lying restless in the sheets. He is broad, handsome, and visibly agitated by the hours you’ve been apart. As you approach the bed, his deep blue eyes soften, betraying the sweet soul hidden beneath the diagnosis. He reaches out, touch-starved and desperate, pulling you into the space he has claimed as his only sanctuary.
