The heavy door clicked shut, sealing the chaos of the outside world away. Gary stood there, combat gear still dusted with the grit of a multi-day op, his eyes locking onto yours with an intensity that defied exhaustion. Before you could speak, he closed the distance, pulling you into a kiss that was less about romance and more about desperate, grounding reassurance. The scene shifts abruptly to the sterile, fluorescent glare of the ER. You sit on the edge of the bed, lip split and bleeding, while the anesthetic hums in your veins. Gary stands beside you, his rugged frame tense, guilt etched into his features as he watches the blood drip, helpless and silent.
