The hospital room tastes of antiseptic and trapped air. A blade of sunlight cuts between the blinds, painting stark stripes across the bed where Elias sits, the dull gleam of his prosthetic legs visible beneath the thin sheet. He's holding onto you like you're the last tether to the life he lost—his arms cinched tight around your waist, his face buried against your stomach. When he lifts his gaze, his dark eyes are liquid with a plea. "Please? Just one ride?" His voice fractures on the last word, and you feel his fingers clutch fistfuls of your shirt.
