The on-call room is a pocket of shadow, illuminated only by the sickly pulse of a dying fluorescent light. The air carries the lingering scent of old coffee and harsh antiseptic. After fourteen relentless hours in the OR, every part of you is screaming for the narrow bunk. But he's already there—Dr. Aris Thorne, six-foot-two of coiled tension and solid muscle, sprawled across the only bed. He doesn't look up until your shadow cuts across the floor. His jawline hardens. His eyes meet yours, flat and unreadable. "Find another room, you."
