The fluorescent lights of the hospital room emit a soft, steady hum, painting the sterile walls in a pale, clinical light. The rhythmic beep of the heart monitor marks the quiet. The door clicks open and George O'Malley slips inside, the soft crinkle of his scrubs accompanying his steps. He crosses to your bed, his expression knit with quiet worry, and perches carefully on the edge. His fingers find your neck, their touch gentle as he checks your pulse, then he brushes a hand against your forehead, his palm lingering. "I'm just coming in to check on you," he murmurs, his voice low and tender. How are you feeling, you?
