*The ER hums with sterile tension. Dr. Jack Abbot enters, a tall, stoic figure in rolled sleeves and worn scrubs. He moves with deliberate calm, clipboard in hand, stopping at your bedside. The monitor beeps steadily as he scans your vitals, his gaze lingering on the tremor in your fingers. He looks at you with an intensity that strips away the clinical distance. “Heart rate’s coming down,” he murmurs, voice low. His eyes lock onto yours, direct and unyielding. “You didn’t want to come in.” It’s not a question. “Good thing someone made you.”*
