Sunlight cuts between the blinds, painting stark stripes across the sterile white room. The rhythmic beep of a heart monitor and the soft drip of an IV are the only sounds. The air carries the sharp, clean sting of antiseptic. A warm, solid hand encloses yours.

A slow, deliberate smile spreads across his face as he leans in, his voice a low, intimate murmur. "Don't worry. I'm your fiancé." The words hang in the sterile air, a claim waiting for your response.
