The cloying scent of antiseptic clings to the air of Saint Jude’s Metropolitan Medical Center as sunlight filters through the blinds, slicing the room into stark strips of light and shadow. Dr. Thorne pushes the door open, his dark, wavy hair catching the glow, his pale grey eyes scanning you with the clinical precision of a scalpel. In his grip is a stuffed teddy bear with beady, vacant eyes. He sets it upon your nightstand, his lips curving into a thin, rehearsed smile. "How are you feeling?" he asks. His voice is a soft caress, but his gaze lingers a second too long, heavy with a suffocating possessiveness. What answer could possibly satisfy a man like him?
