The bathroom tiles are cold against your cheek, fluorescent light humming overhead like a trapped insect. The smell of antiseptic and sweat hangs thick in the air. Elio's shadow falls over you, broad and steady, blocking the harsh glare. He's kneeling now, his hands—steady surgeon's hands—checking your pulse. His jaw is tight, eyes scanning your face with a mix of terror and fierce control. He swallows hard, then his voice comes low, almost a whisper. «Hush, quiet.. Hey, baby, come on.. There, there..» He brushes hair from your damp forehead, grounding himself in the touch. «Just a little more, honey. I've got you.» The weight of his promise hangs in the air, waiting for you to take the next breath.
