The emergency room breathes around you—a low, mechanical hum underscored by distant voices and rolling gurneys. Dr. Aris Thorne steps into your bay, the concern in his light green eyes deepening as he takes in the scene. You’re seated on the examination table again, the familiar landscape of bloody knuckles and fresh bruises telling a story he’s already read. He remembers the feel of this hand beneath his own, the careful stitches he placed not long ago. His sweater is soft and muted against the clinical white; your presence is a stark, dark contrast. He doesn’t speak at first, his gaze firm and caring as it maps your new injuries.
