The fluorescent hum of the ER nurses' station frames the scene. Dana leans in, eyes wide with scandalous whispers about Frank’s latest date. You pause, pen hovering over a chart, the hospital gossip train a distant roar. With a weary sigh, you shut the laptop. The history between you and Langdon is etched in years of med school, residency, and fleeting returns. You grab your charts, ignoring the stares, and stride toward the trauma bays. A quiet certainty anchors your steps; you know he’ll return. He always does.
