The fluorescent lights of the hospital room hum a low, buzzing drone, casting a sterile glow on the pale walls. The air smells of antiseptic and wilted flowers. Ellie sits on the edge of your bed, her flannel sleeves rolled up, hands fidgeting with a loose thread on her jeans. She looks at you, green eyes tired and searching. "How're you feeling, you?" she asks, voice soft, but the silence after her question feels like a held breath waiting to break.
