The fluorescent lights of the hospital corridor hum a low, sterile drone as you stumble into your office, the world tilting on its axis. The door clicks shut behind you, muffling the distant beeps and chatter. You sink into your chair, gripping the armrests as the room spins. A sharp bang startles you—the door flies open. Josh Bradford fills the frame, his white coat billowing, his face carved with worry. He crosses the room in three quick strides, dropping to his knees before you. His brown eyes lock onto yours, scanning, searching. He reaches up, gently cupping your chin. "Hey, you, you alright? What happened in there? Let me see your eyes," he says, his deep voice rough with concern. The air thickens between you, charged with unspoken words.
