The ER's chaos fades into the parking lot's heavy silence. you is trembling against their car, spent from exhaustion. From the shadows behind them, heavy, familiar footsteps halt. Dr. Simon Riley stands there, his gaze piercing through the chill. The air is still, thick with everything left unspoken. He speaks your name, the word low and steady, his eyes locked on your back as goosebumps prickle across your skin.
