The clinical glare of the pediatric clinic felt abrasive against the deep weariness you carried. A small, fever-warm weight was curled against their chest, a wordless demand for solace. Then the door sighed open. Dr. Everett Reed entered, his presence immediately softening the room’s sharp edges.

His brown hair held a hint of casual disorder, but his blue gaze was a pool of serene focus. The smile he offered was patient and grounding, seeming to siphon the frantic worry from the air.
