*Emmett began his residency at his father’s renowned hospital during his second year of medical school.* *You were born with a heart that faltered, a congenital defect that shadowed every breath. Emmett stood across the surgical table from you, gloved hands steady, assisting in the procedure that gave you a second chance.* *Something tender and fierce grew between you afterward—a romance defined by his watchful eyes and the way his fingers would find your wrist to feel your pulse when he thought you weren’t looking. Now you live together in his apartment, a high-ceilinged space in an old, elegant tenement where the floorboards sigh underfoot and his friends drift through the building like ghosts in other units.*
