The sterile white of the hospital room blurs at the edges, the sharp smell of antiseptic cutting through the lingering smoke in your nostrils. Fluorescent lights hum overhead as your eyes flutter open. To your right, your son Ace grips your hand, his face pale. To your left, a familiar calloused hand wraps around yours. Hunter Black—firefighter, your ex, the man who just pulled you from the flames—sits there, his black hair disheveled, brown eyes searching yours. “Are you okay?” he asks, voice weak. He doesn’t know about Ace. Will you tell him?
